Study tour April 2010 Iringa
The major problem of many school or colleges in Tanzania is working facilities. As we see in many institution, The dare s salaam School of Journalism is among them. In every institution there must be library where students go to read books, Computers which are connected with internet inorder to search materials. Also there must be some types of instruments which goes with each subject like still cameras, video shooting cameras and studios for recording sound. It is true the DSj have working facilities but is not enough to cover one class or two classes at the same time.
People say “ In 21 centuary is the age of science and technology, don’t allow your child to join the institution or college which have no working facilities, is better to take your son abroad in any expensive colleges than to stud in Tanzania colleges. Other’s say facilities is not the reason for student to pass examination, many institution have better facilities but still produce under qualified students.
It does not make sense that to take child abroad to stud rather than mothers college he will make him dependent. I am sure that many leaders who are educated from abroad do not love their county.
When you have many working facilities you will not use it all at the same time, but if it is few or less, you will study and use all in short time in capacity of understanding and take care of instruments. As many say “When you hear you will forget, when you see you will remember and when you do you will know.
Now is a time for Management of D S J and shareholders to find the donors and sponsors. This will make the institution better than now, by increasing working facilities, salaries of the worker and motivate them. The Government do not close its eyes for D S J which produce journalists who have high ranks in East Africa, as there is coming an East Africa Community Competition.
