Shortage of staff is hurting the leading universities, according to a report tabled in Parliament on Wednesday.
The most critically affected are the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) and the University of Dodoma (UDOM).
UDSM, the country’s oldest institution of higher learning, currently has a shortage of 2,479 members of staff.
On the other hand, UDOM, which was established slightly less than 20 years ago, has to grapple with the shortage of 856 staff members.
It is feared the shortage could negatively impact the learning processes because a significant number of those missing are the academic staff.
