Harrow College has welcomed a visit from its Tanzanian educational partner VETA (the Vocational Educational and Training Authority) who are the national agency responsible for vocational education and training in Tanzania.
The delegation met with Harrow College’s senior staff on Thursday 27 November.
The visit further bolsters Harrow College’s commitment to the international educational and business sectors.
Harrow College successfully completed a British Council project in Tanzania in 2012 and has since been advising VETA on skills development issues.
The delegation comprised of high level post holders, including Zebadiah Moshi, director General of VETA, Prof Idrissa Mshoro, board chairman of VETA, Geofrey Sabuni, director of assessment and certification at VETA and Adeline Macha, corporation secretary of legal matters at VETA.
Afshan Baksh, head of higher education and teacher training at Harrow College, who has family roots in Tanzania, said: “VETA have expanded greatly since the partnership began in 2009, but the need for vocational training centres still does not meet the demand in Tanzania. Harrow College has played a major part in supporting skills development in Mikumi and in Morogoro regions and we hope to continue to work on a national level in Tanzania.”
