In that regard, Tanzania needs to continue to develop its human capital as well as increasing the local skills in rare and specialized areas in order to efficiently exploit the country\u2019s enormous natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>When officiating the meeting, Director of department of Arts in the Ministry of Information, Culture, Arts and Sports, Ms Leah Kihimbi, pointed out that the government\u2019s<\/p>\n<p>objective is to bring the country to high middle income status, that was why it invests heavily on developing human resources.<\/p>\n<p>In these efforts the government was closely engaging the private sector so that it could continue giving support.<\/p>\n<p>When presenting his paper, Mr Nicholas Mbwanji, a labor market analyst, advised that more investments have to be directed to vocational and technical education for the country to realise the target of reaching higher middle income status.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoft skills are crucial if we want our youth to be economically independent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the nation has to get rid of \u2018degree holder syndrome\u2019 which has been retarding investment on vocational and technical education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
