Unguja. Vyuo vya mafunzo ya amali vimetajwa kuwa ni fursa muhimu kwa vijana kupata ujuzi utakaowasaidia kujiajiri.
Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Mamlaka ya Mafunzo ya Amali Zanzibar, Dk Bakari Ali Silima ametoa kauli hiyo leo Jumanne, Septemba 10, 2024 wakati akizungumza na wanafunzi wa kidato cha nne wa shule mbalimbali kwenye ufunguzi wa maonyesho ya wiki ya mafunzo ya amali, yanayofanyika katika Chuo cha Amali Mwanakwerekwe, Unguja.
“Juhudi za Serikali kujenga vyuo vya amali kila wilaya zinaendelea, ili kuona vijana wanapomaliza masomo yao wanapata fursa ya kujiunga katika vyuo hivyo kupata ujuzi na maarifa bora,” amesema Dk Silima.
Amewataka wanafunzi hao kuzitumia fursa zinazotolewa na Serikali wanapomaliza elimu yao ya sekondari ili kupata ujuzi utakaowajengea mustakabali mwema wa maisha yao.
Mbali na hayo, amewataka wanafunzi hao kuwa mabalozi kwa wengine ili wanapomaliza masomo yao kuacha kukaa mitaani na kufanya matukio yasiostahiki na badala yake kujiwekeza katika eneo hilo ili kujipatia maendeleo.
Kwa upande wake, Mkaguzi Mkuu wa Vyuo vya Mamlaka ya Mafunzo ya Amali, Ibrahim Salim Haji amesema wiki ya mafunzo ya amali inasaidia kumjenga mwanafunzi na kumpa mwamko mzuri wa maisha yake ya baadaye.
Amesema kupitia hatua hiyo mwanafunzi anaonyeshwa fursa ya kuchagua anachoweza kufanya.
“Tumeaandaa maonyesho haya kupitia vyuo vyote vya Unguja na Pemba ikiwa ni moja na kuwashajihisha vijana, jamii na wanafunzi wanaotarajiwa kumaliza masomo yao, kutembelea katika vyuo hivyo,” amesema.
Baadhi ya wanafunzi waliofanya ziara katika chuo hicho wameelezafarijika kupata fursa ya kujua faida zinazopatikana chuoni hapo.

Tanzania: Exim to Raise Fund for Mental Health Facilities Upgrades
EXIM Bank to raise 300m/- over the next three years for financing essential services and infrastructure upgrades in mental health facilities.
The bank’s Head of Marketing and Communications Stanley Kafu unveiled this when introducing Exim Bima Festival 2024 as a platform for bringing together individuals, organisations and various sectors for raising the funds.
“Exim’s initiative aligns with the government’s broader goals to ensure that every citizen has access to quality healthcare, including mental health services,” he said.
The initiative, which is one of the events for celebrating the bank’s 27th anniversary is scheduled for Wednesday this week in Dar es Salaam.
Mr Kafu highlights that this year’s festival is not only about raising awareness of the importance of insurance in the society but also focuses on enhancing access to mental health services and improving the overall well-being of the nation.
Statistics from the Ministry of Health shows a staggering 82 per cent increase in mental health cases over the past decade.
Mental cases have risen from 386,358 in 2012 to 2,102,726 in 2021, making the need for mental health services more urgent than ever.

Unfortunately, the country’s ability to address this growing challenge is hindered by a shortage of mental health professionals, infrastructure, medical equipment and essential medication.
For example, out of the 28 regions in the country, only five have facilities that provide adequate mental health services.
The most affected group is the youth aged 15 to 39, who represent the nation’s workforce, underscoring the need for intensified efforts to safeguard this generation for Tanzania’s future well-being and development.
Mr Kafu said by improving mental health services, Exim aims to contribute to the creation of a network of communities that can access care quickly and affordably.
Exim Insurance Department Manager Tike Mwakyoma said they are appreciating the support from partners in the insurance industry, who have stood by them since the last festival.
“Let’s continue this unity for the development of all Tanzanians and our nation as a whole,” the manager said.
