10,000 foreign teachers facing deportation from Tanzania

Tanzanian private schools have petitioned President Jakaya Kikwete. Net photo.
Dare salaam. About 10,000 teachers face expulsion in a crackdown on illegal immigrants in Tanzania, private school owners said Thursday

The Tanzania Association of Managers and Owners of Non-Government Schools and Colleges (Tamongsco) told The Citizen daily that the crackdown would have serious repercussions on private English medium schools.

Tamongsco secretary-general Benjamin Nkonya said most schools could not afford the $2,000 fee for a two-year work permit required for foreign teachers.

"A school with ten foreign teachers, for example, cannot afford to pay $20,000. We have appealed that the fee either be scrapped or reduced," he said.

School owners raised the matter with President Jakaya Kikwete in Mbeya last year, and were still waiting for a response, Mr Nkonya added.

He said Tomongsco members told President Kikwete that they had no option but to hire foreign teachers to work in private English medium schools due to a shortage of local tutors.

The teacher to student ratio in Tanzania is 1:40, with a demand of 23,546 teachers. There are 13,657 teachers, which is only 58 per cent of requirements.

This has prompted private schools to employ 9,889 teachers from neighbouring Kenya, Uganda, Malawi and Zambia.

Mr Nkonya also accused police and immigration officers of mistreating and humiliating foreign teachers, saying some had been handcuffed in front of their pupils and bundled into police vehicles.

"This is not only humiliating, it also had an adverse psychological effect on pupils, especially those who were sitting the Standard Seven national examination," he said.

However, the country's ministry of Education and Vocational Training said it was not in a position to help private school owners who have employed illegal immigrants. In another development, criminals have been cashing in since the operation began in Dar es Salaam early this month. Gangs masquerading as immigration officers have been extorting bribes from illegal immigrants by threatening them with arrest and prosecution.

I like this. Lets see all those who were cheering for the expulsions how they will handle their kids being told to stay at home until they recruit local teachers who probably are not qualified or fluent in foreign languages. "The chicken are coming home to roost"

Kama ni kweli imethibitika kuwa ni wahamiaji haramu basi tunawaomba radhi sana kwakweli kwasas watatusamehe tu watupishe. Wakitaka kurudi basi ruksa lakini kwa kufuata taratibu husika. Hakuna nchi yeyote duniani inayoruhusu raia wa nchi nyingine aingie na kuishi nchini mwake bila kufuata taratibu ilizojiwekea.

Kuwapisha wameshawapisha. Ila sasa usishangae mwanao akipewa likizo ya lazima wakati shule zikihangaika kutafuta replacement. Na hao replacement wa haraka haraka unadhani watakuwa competent. It means wanao watapata elimu mbaya. Angalia hili suala kwa mapana.

Kwa hili la kuwaondoa walimu wa kigeni naiunga mkono serikali kwa asilimia 100. Tunao waalimu wengi wenye sifa kuliko hao wageni lakini mazingira ya kazi hayajawekwa vizuri...

Acha kupayuka mkuu, kwani wakifuata taratibu za kuishi hapa then wakaendelea na taratibu zao kuna tatizo gani?Yaani tuendelee kuwalea wahuni wasiolipa kodi waendelee kuifaidi nchi yetu simply kwasababu hatuna walimu wa kutosha?
Kwanza wengi wao siyo walimu by profession isipokuwa kuweza kwao kuongea kiingereza fasaha ndiyo kinachowabeba. Wafuate utaratibu kama hawataki basi wakajaribu na nchini kwenu hapo Rwanda labda mtakuwakubali.

Kaka umenena vyema, tatizo la hao waalimu wako very cheap ndio maana wanapendwa na hizi private schools, kwa hiyo waondoke tu ili maslahi ya walimu yameremete!

Mhamiaji haramu=============Mhalifu
Mwalimu bila work permit=======Mhalifu
Mmiliki wa shule==============Mhalifu
Product (mwanafunzi) =========Mhalifu

That is all you can expect, kiwanda cha wahalifu kuzalisha wahalifu. Bila shaka hawa ndio wamekuwa chanzo cha udanganyifu na wizi wa mitihani because they prove to bear corrupt mindset. Shame on them all, no morals at all, how comes that they can still plead with the Government bear with their malpractice?

Kama wametakiwa tu kulipa kibali au kusepa basi wajue wana bahati. Walitakiwa kabla ya yote wapigwe faini na kama hawana watupwe lupango ndipo warudishwe kwenda kugombania ardhi huko kwao.

Kupigwa pingu mbele ya watoto inafaa sana, watoto wetu wajifunze kuwa mafanikio ya uhalifu ni ya muda mfupi, baada ya hapo ni aibu na fedheha.

Hahaha. Bahati mbaya ofisi yangu iko kigali. Karibu. Ukweli uko pale pale. Majuto ni mjukuu.

How boring are Kigali forums, it is our pleasure to have many of you interested in our forum! Judging on that, we know that you must be bored by those of yours, or is it because you don't want to contribute into same forums with the Interahamwe?

 

[ricardo roche]

Hahaha. Bahati mbaya ofisi yangu iko kigali. Karibu. Ukweli uko pale pale. Majuto ni mjukuu.

Ofisi yako ipo Kigali je ya Watanzania yanakuhusu nini. Tunasafisha nchi yetu ili tubaki wenyewe tu tumechoka wageni. Hatutaki tena kupendwa tunataka kuchukiwa tu ili musije kwetu

 

[ukweliusemwe]

What will Tanzanians not do? Ha we should expect 100% failure this time dah!
