Analyzing data trends and institutional

performance based on internationally recognized approaches

Adopting regional and international data formats

and procedures for institutional ranking for regional benchmarking/ ranking, etc.

Started in March, 2016; Submitted data in

April 2016. Now we have complete set of data for UDSM

Have completed compilation of 2015/ 16 data
Succeeded to submit data for Ranking to

PASET (Partnership for skills in Applied SET)

Average Total Annual Growth Rate: UDSM= 7.7% ;

HERANA Universities= 7.2%

Undergraduate: UDSM= 8.9% ; HERANA= 7.9%
Masters+ Doctorates: UDSM= 0.6% ; HERANA= 9.1%
UDSM has for many years been the main source of

graduates in TZ  DEMAND (labour market)

Declining resources to run PG programmes led to

increased FEES in 2011/ 2012, hence decline of PG

enrolment. This year fees have been revised to

about 60% of previous  enrolment will increase

Response to issues:

Changes are within Institutional plans, but

influenced by socio-economic (and political?) factors

Enrolment targets available for PG

programmes but not achieved yet

Overall, UG Enrollment growing much

faster than PG Enrollment. More emphasis and resources needed for increasing enrolment of PG students

UDSM Total (2014/ 2015) – 1,173
UDSM Average Annual Growth Rate: 2.3%

(HERANA: 3.1% )

UDSM has a Staff Succession Plan, but belated!

Too many seniors retiring than capacity to recruit new academic staff. Now suspended by Gov.

Policy on FTE students to FTE academics exists

but not strictly adhered to…

Ratios in SET are favourable (SET= 10; BFM= 21)

due to demand on special needs, e.g. laboratories,

workshops, field studies, etc.

HERANA = 14%

UDSM requires Doctoral qualification for promotion

from Assist. Lecturer to Lecturer. S/ L and above must have doctoral degree.

Incentive are there, both positive and negative
Positive: Promotion, eligibility for higher

responsibilities (appointment)

Negative: Overstaying without doctoral

will be re-categorized

Measures put in place include soliciting

research funding from developm ent partners ( training com ponent) , fee review ing, etc

Supervisory capacity is enhanced by retaining

retiring senior staff ( Prof+ A/ P to 7 0 yrs, S/ L to 6 5 yrs) to bridge gap btn Senior staff and juniors.

Ratio of doctoral graduates to academ ic staff

very low ( 0 .0 5 < 0 .1 5 )

To promote visibility of the University e.g. thru

Research Repository, online repository of publications (google scholar), etc.

UDSM does not publish regular research

reports on research publication outputs – will advise Management to adopt…

No, UDSM is not satisfied. Efforts are made,

e.g. guideline for improving research output and reporting is being developed; development of two Centers of Excellency in good progress, etc.

More efforts needed.

CONCLUSI ON

HERANA has helped UDSM to establish a

directorate that is fully responsible for data handling (DPD)

HERANA Data will be useful when updating/

reviewing our CST (2014-2023) and FYSRP (2014/ 15-2018/ 19)

HERANA Data has been an incentive to

preparing the updated Facts and Figures (2016). The last one was 2011!
