Pia alipendekeza wajumbe wa bodi kufanya ziara katika Mgodi wa Dhahabu wa Geita ili kupata uelewa wa moja kwa moja kuhusu shughuli za uchimbaji, pamoja na masuala ya kitaalamu yanayohusu rasilimali na akiba ya madini.

Alisema uhusiano mzuri uliopo kati ya kampuni hiyo na Serikali unaweza kuwa msingi muhimu wa kuendeleza shughuli zake katika maeneo mengine yenye leseni za utafiti nchini, kwa kuwa kampuni inaweza kupanua shughuli zake kwa urahisi zaidi katika mazingira ambayo tayari ina shughuli, miundombinu na uhusiano mzuri wa kikazi na Serikali.

CHUO CHA BAHARI KUANDAA WATAALAMU KUKIDHI MAHITAJI YA SOKO

Na Sheila Ahmadi, Dar es Salaam

Kongamano la Uchumi wa Bluu linatarajiwa kujadili mikakati ya kuhakikisha Tanzania inazalisha wataalamu wa kutosha katika sekta ya bahari, sambamba na kuangalia fursa za kiuchumi zinazotokana na matumizi endelevu ya rasilimali za bahari.

Akizungumza na Wanahabari jijini Dar esaalam Mkuu wa chuo cha bahari Dar esalaam (DMI) Profesa Tumaini Gurumo amesema Serikali imefanya uwekezaji mkubwa katika sekta mbalimbali zinazohusiana na uchumi wa bluu, hivyo kuna umuhimu wa kuhakikisha nchi inakuwa na wataalamu wenye uwezo wa kukidhi mahitaji yanayotokana na uwekezaji huo.

matumizi ya bahari yanaendelea kuongezeka, hali inayoongeza mahitaji ya wataalamu katika maeneo mbalimbali, ikiwemo ujenzi na uendeshaji wa meli, usafirishaji wa mizigo, shughuli za bandari, uvuvi na sheria za baharini.

Kupitia Chuo cha Bahari Dar es Salaam kimeendelea kuboresha programu zake za elimu na mafunzo ili kukidhi mahitaji ya soko, ikiwa ni pamoja na kuanzisha kozi zinazolenga maeneo mapya yanayohusiana na uchumi wa bluu.

“Tunapoangalia uwekezaji mkubwa unaofanywa na Serikali katika sekta mbalimbali, tunahitaji pia wataalamu wa kutosha watakaoweza kusimamia na kuendeleza uwekezaji huo,” amesema Profesa gurumo"

Aidha, amesema miongoni mwa maeneo yanayofanyiwa kazi ni usafirishaji na usimamizi wa mizigo bandarini, pamoja na biashara ya kimataifa ya baharini, ambayo yanahitaji wataalamu wenye ujuzi maalumu.

kuna umuhimu wa kuwa na wataalamu katika eneo la sheria za baharini, hususani kutokana na kuongezeka kwa shughuli za uvuvi, usafirishaji na matumizi mengine ya rasilimali za bahari.

Vilevile kongamano hilo linatarajiwa kujadili namna ya kuhakikisha rasilimali za bahari zinalindwa na kutumika kwa njia endelevu ili Tanzania iweze kunufaika na uchumi wa bluu kwa muda mrefu.

Katika hatua nyingine profesa gurumo ameongeza kuwa bila kuwepo kwa mikakati madhubuti ya kutunza rasilimali za bahari, nchi inaweza kushindwa kupata manufaa ya muda mrefu kutokana na uchumi huo.

Kongamano hilo litakutanisha washiriki kutoka Tanzania na nje ya nchi, wakiwemo wataalamu, wanazuoni, viongozi wa taasisi za umma na binafsi, pamoja na vijana, kwa lengo la kujadili fursa na changamoto katika maendeleo ya uchumi wa bluu.

Washiriki hao wanatarajiwa kutoka katika nchi mbalimbali, ikiwemo Kenya, Comoro, Seychelles na mataifa mengine, huku wakijadili namna ya kushirikiana katika kutumia fursa zinazotokana na uchumi wa bluu kwa maendeleo ya nchi na ukanda kwa ujumla.

KAHOOT SPARKS A NEW DIGITAL TEACHING EXPERIENCE FOR TEACHERS IN ARUSHA

ARUSHA — what began as a practical introduction to digital teaching tools during a UNESCO-supported training has left teachers in Arusha seeing classroom assessment in a new way, with Kahoot emerging as one of the tools that has generated the strongest enthusiasm among participants.

During the morning recap session, teachers reflected on their first-day learning experience, highlighting how hands-on exposure to Kahoot and Google Forms had demonstrated practical ways technology can support teaching, assessment and learner participation.

For the teachers, the significance of Kahoot was not simply in learning how to operate another digital application. Its appeal came from the possibility of turning routine classroom exercises and assessment into a more interactive experience, while helping teachers quickly check whether learners understand what is being taught.





One of the participants, Innocent Mshomba Karaine, a teacher from Mrisho Gambo Secondary School, said the training had given him a new understanding of how technology could simplify some of the tasks involved in preparing classroom exercises and assessing learners.

He said Kahoot had taught him a simple and faster way of preparing questions and exercises, as well as assessing learners’ understanding during the teaching process.

“I have learned how to prepare exercises easily and quickly, assess learners’ understanding and make teaching more interactive through games. This can attract learners and encourage them to participate fully,” he said.





For Mr Karaine, the experience demonstrated that technology can be used positively to support the teacher rather than replace the teacher. He therefore encouraged fellow educators to embrace digital tools and explore their potential in improving teaching and learning.

The excitement was similarly evident among other participants.

Zakia Mohamed Y. Hussein, a teacher from Ngarenaro Secondary School, described her experience with Kahoot as one of the most exciting parts of the training.

Although she had gained knowledge from different sessions, Ms Hussein said the practical experience with Kahoot particularly impressed her because of its potential to change the way teachers prepare and conduct classroom assessments.

She said the experience had made her reconsider her dependence on paper-based preparation of tests and exercises, and that she was now looking forward to using Kahoot with her students to make lessons more enjoyable and participatory.

“I want to go further with digital teaching because it will help me in my teaching, make learning easier for my students and reduce my workload. I am happy to have discovered an approach that can simplify both teaching and learning,” she said.

Her reflection points to one of the central attractions of digital teaching tools: making the teacher’s work more manageable while creating opportunities for learners to participate more actively.

The teachers’ responses during the morning recap offered an early indication of how practical digital training can influence teachers’ perceptions of technology. Instead of encountering digital tools only as concepts, participants were able to use them and reflect on how they could fit into their own classroom practices.

Kahoot, in particular, provided a practical demonstration of how a familiar classroom activity—asking questions and checking learners’ understanding—can be redesigned through an interactive digital format.

As the training entered its second day, the enthusiasm generated by the first day’s practical sessions provided momentum for teachers to continue exploring digital approaches that can support more engaging, responsive and learner-centred teaching.

For the participating teachers, the message emerging from the experience was clear: digital technology is not simply about putting technology into the classroom; it is about finding better ways to teach, assess, engage learners and make the work of the teacher more effective.
