What are the ways to produce state skilled human resources?

To this effect, every year Tanzania allocates a huge portion of its budget for the education, health and agriculture  sectors. The government has given due emphasis to human development.

Every year, the country invests on human resource development and graduates new professionals. Establishing vibrant learning institutions has the potential to transform the country and create far reaching impacts on economic development. Hence, the country's higher learning institutions, apart from their key duties, have to give due attention to the transfer of technology and new innovations.

Universities shall be a place where fate-reversing skilled human power are created. Higher learning institutions have to conduct trouble shooting researches in the priority areas.

Currently, over 30 public universities have discharged their responsibilities focusing on the teaching learning processes, conducting problem solving researches and community services.

Hence, new graduates are expected to spur the county's economic development journey. Without skilled human power, the nation could not speed up its developmental pace. Besides, Tanzania has planned to throw poverty into the dustbin of history, undertake economic transformation and  has become a middle income country.   It has endorsed conducive legal frameworks, policies and strategies. But, all these lofty development goals could be realized if the country produces enough skilled human power in respective fields of studies. The nation has planned constructing small and mega projects and improving citizens' standard of living. To do so, expanding higher learning institutions and producing human resource development have become a prerequisite agenda.

Of course, all these ambitions are gradual processes, happen step by step but their importance is unquestionable. Ethiopia has to produce its own skilled professionals in very sector. To become a competitive country in the global arena, it needs innovators, problem solver citizens, confident individuals and job opportunity creators.

Teaching institutions have to be equipped with modern teaching tools and other teaching aids. Information communication technology tools have to also be provided along with teaching aids. Moreover, teachers are the most important educational resource and critical determinants of quality education. They must be treated and respected. Teaching must be rendered an attractive career choice and must remain sufficiently attractive, in terms of salaries and conditions of employment, to retain the best teachers in the service. That is why, the government has recently complemented teachers with salary increment and other benefits.

As learning has no an end, teachers have to hone skills and acquire further knowledge through regular and extension programmes continuously. Because they are expected to be conversant with ICT technology ahead of the students.

Quality tools for teaching and learning, appropriate curricula and inclusive teaching and learning materials and resources are significant in producing skilled professionals. The above mentioned approached could be provided, through the application of information and communication technology, that is, by tapping the enormous power of the internet technology.
