Abstract

The aim of this dissertation is to analyze the community perception on VET with the empirical evidence from owners of training institutions particularly in Geita region. However, vocational training in Tanzania is offered by variety of training providers. Estimations from 1995 indicate players ranging from private training providers, mission and trade schools, government institutions and training institutions owned and run by VETA. Data from 1995 reveal an enrolment capacity of approximately 36,000 trainees all over the country. A prominent provider of Centre based vocational training is the Ministry of Community Development Women Affairs and Children .The implementation of education and training policy was carried out through legislations ,regulations, guidelines and Education Sector Development Program prepared in 1997; through this program, the primary education development plan (PEDEP) the secondary education development plan(SEDEP) ,the higher education development plan(HEDEP) and Technical and Vocational Training Education Development Plan(TVTEDP) were conceived. The education and training structure is dominated by an academic structure with a mentality of filtering the finalists so as to select some few with the big academic capability to continue studying up to the university level. Automatically it is expected that ,those who are not selected might join the vocational training institutions, However, regarding to a large number of form four leavers, unemployed youths , low school fees at VET institutions, there is a low number of entrants into these VET institutions, this work will evaluate the owners of VET institutions in relation to number of entrants into their institutions. Keywords: Community perception, VET, training institutions, Geita region
