Tanzania’s founding president Julius Kambarage Nyerere peacefully passing over the presidency to his hand-picked successor Ali Hassan Mwinyi was a rarity in Africa at that time, it also marked the start of the private sector’s involvement in the country’s development agenda.
It saw former president Mwinyi earn the nickname Mzee wa Rukhsa, which in Kiswahili means the elder who permitted almost everything.
Mzee Mwinyi practically reversed all Nyerere’s Ujamaa na Kujitegemea, the socialist-inspired policies that dominated Tanzania’s politics, society, and economy during the 24 years of Nyerere’s tenure. His government moved from one of the most influential and passionate defenders of socialism and self-reliance to a free market economy, referred to as neoliberal capitalism.
Ambitious plan for homegrown PhD programmes
A total of 5,000 PhDs by the end of 2025. This is what Ethiopia’s Ministry of Science and Higher Education aims for, according to a five-year project that has recently been unveiled.
This initiative, identified as the Homegrown Collaborative PhD Programmes (HCPP), is partly a reaction to the government’s discontent with the limited expansion of PhD programmes and a response to an emerging need for high-level skills driven by the demands of the country’s new economic policy.
PhD training in Ethiopia has shown a significant improvement over the past decade. From a low of 31 doctoral students in 2006-07, the national annual intake reached more than 5,000 candidates in 2020. In addition to local programmes, scholarships and paid programmes abroad continue to produce additional PhD graduates.
