They will then be considered by relevant parliamentary committees before being tabled in this House,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that once approved, the framework will guide internship and volunteer programmes to ensure they produce meaningful outcomes for young people and the country.<\/p>\n<p>The clarification followed a basic question by Special Seats MP (CCM), Selina Kingalame, who sought to know whether structured internship systems could be expanded to other professions, similar to the medical field.<\/p>\n<p>Responding, Deputy Minister for Education, Science and Technology, Wanu Hafidh Ameir, said the government recognises the importance of practical training in improving the quality of graduates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt present, through middlelevel colleges and higher learning institutions, practical training is already provided in the form of field practical and industrial training, depending on the profession,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She added that efforts are underway to improve internship frameworks to align with labour market demands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, in the teaching profession, the National Teachers\u2019 Internship Framework of 2026 has been prepared and will be implemented in a manner similar to medical training starting in the 2026\/2027 academic year,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>In a supplementary question, Ms Kingalame asked why internship is not made a mandatory requirement to help young people gain employment, noting that lack of experience remains a major barrier.<\/p>\n<p>Responding, Ms Ameir said expansion of internship programmes across different fields is under consideration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue evaluating how to expand internship opportunities to ensure they are effective and serve as a bridge for graduates entering the job market,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Tanzania<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
