THE government is looking forward to increase enrollment of students for certificate and diploma in veterinary studies.
Minister for
Livestock and Fisheries, Luhaga Mpina told Parliament that the
government is working
hard to increase the enrolment of students in the
said areas so that they can help strengthen the livestock sector in the
country.
Mr Mpina was
responding to a question posed by Singida North MP, Justine Monko (CCM),
who wanted to know when the government will employ more veterinary and
extension officers.
Mr Monko said there
is a need for the government to improve the livestock sector by
increasing the number of veterinary officers to support livestock
keepers in various parts of the country.
The minister said
that the government is planning to increase the number of students in
the field from 2,536 of 2018/19 to 3,634 in 2019/2020, which is an
increase of 1,098, equivalent to 43.3 per cent increase.
