College of Education programmes/curriculum emphasizes producing teachers who are well-baked and have undergone the procedures and provisions for the acquisition of knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and skills which will enable them to perform their tasks effectively in the classroom, school, and the community at large. Graduate educators are also highly needed for the provision of basic teaching knowledge and skills which are lacking with regards to imparting information literacy and lifelong learning to pupils, students, and adults alike, especially in Tanzania and Africa in general. There is also a need to equip graduate teachers with skills that will help them create new strategies to help bring back pupils’ and students’ interest in the classroom and in learning while managing the classroom and learning environment.
