TIE, DIT to write vocational books for secondary schools - IPPmedia
TIE Director General Aneth Komba said at the signing event in Dar es Salaam that the MoU gives the institutions the responsibility to coordinate the drafting and eventual publishing of the books in line with the 2019 updated syllabus.
Vocational subjects will be taught from form one to four starting next year, with the textbooks slated to cover eight vocational education subjects listed as engineering science, civil engineering, surveying, architecture draughting, building construction, woodwork and painting, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and electronics, and communication engineering, she said.
At present TIE does not have specialists in these subjects, she elaborated, noting that considering that these books are important teaching and learning tools and as DIT has the specialists, they will do much of the writing.
The pact provides that the work starts Tuesday next week and takes 160 days to completion, with the printing commencing by December 1, which will take the whole month followed by distribution before schools in January next year.
She added that soon after the completion of the task, the institution will work with DIT and other technical colleges to train teachers in vocational schools so that they can implement the curriculum.
She further explained that TIE has completed the task of writing and distributing all textbooks at the level of pre-primary and primary education from first to seventh grade for schools that use English and Kiswahili as teaching languages.
TIE has also focused on the availability of textbooks for students with special needs, the blind or visually impaired and for this group the institution has distributed textbooks up to grade five. It is currently completing the printing of textbooks that are specific to visually impaired pupils in sixth and seventh grade, she stated.
The institution was put on a 3bn/- budget to fund the writing of textbooks for primary and secondary schools in the country, the director affirmed.
DIT Principal Prof Preksedis Ndomba said that they are ready to work with TIE in making sure that students take up vocational studies in secondary education, easing future enrollment in universities or taking up technical vocational occupations.
“We are going to work closely with TIE in making sure that the exercise is finished on time and the books reach the students so that they start learning as targeted,” he added.
