(TANZANIA COMMISSION FOR UNIVERSITIES – TCU)

TAARIFA KWA UMMA KUHUSU UENDESHWAJI WA UDAHILI - ELIMU YA JUU KWA MWAKA WA MASOMO 2012/2013

UTANGULIZI

Tume ya Vyuo Vikuu Tanzania (‘Tanzania Commission for Universities’-TCU) ikishirikiana na Baraza laTaifa la Elimu ya Ufundi (‘National Council for Technical Education’ - NACTE) pamoja na Bodi ya Mikopo ya Wanafunzi Elimu ya Juu (Higher Education Students Loans Board) inapenda kuutarifu umma kuhusu utaratibu wa kujiunga na vyuo vya elimu ya juu kwa mwaka wa masomo 2012/2013 kupitia mifumo ya “Pre-entry”, “Mature Age Entry”, “Equivalent Qualifications” na mfumo wa pamoja wa udahili (‘Central Admission System’) na utaratibu wa mikopo kama ifuatavyo:

MFUMO WA UDAHILI KUANZIA MWAKA 2012/13

1.1 Utaratibu wa Kuendesha Program za “Pre-entry” na “Mature Age Entry”

Kuanzia mwaka huu 2012, vyuo vyote vitakavyotaka kuendesha mafunzo ya awali kabla ya mwombaji kustahili kudahiliwa ili kuweza kujiunga na programu za elimu ya juu (pre-entry programmes) pamoja na kuendesha mitihani ya kupitia mfumo wa “Mature Age Entry” vinatakiwa kuwasilisha programu hizo Tume ya Vyuo Vikuu (TCU) au Baraza la Taifa la Elimu ya Ufundi (NACTE) kwa uhakiki na kupata kibali. Programu hizo ni lazima ziendeshwe kwa muda wa mwaka mmoja. Hali kadhalika kwa upande wa mitihani kupitia mfumo wa mature entry, Tume kwa ushirikiano na Baraza, kwa pamoja wataandaa na kuratibu utaratibu wa mitihani katika vituo maalum kikanda ili vyeti vitakavyotolewa viwe na ulinganifu unaostahili na hatimaye kuweza kutumika katika udahili wa sifa linganishi katika vyuo mbalimbali.

Vyuo vinatakiwa kuandaa programu za mifumo ya “Pre-entry” na “Mature Age Entry” na kuziwasilisha Tume na Baraza ili zihakikiwe kwani mwaka wa masomo kwa kusudi hili utaanza mwezi Agosti 2012/2013. Kwa utaratibu huu, watakaofanya mafunzo hayo watatakiwa kufanya mitihani yao na kujiunga na masomo ya elimu ya juu katika mwaka wa masomo 2013/2014.

Kwa taarifa hii, mwaka 2012/13 hakutakuwapo na udahili wa wanafunzi kwa mfumo wa “Pre-Entry” na “Mature Age Entry”.

1.2 Utaratibu wa Udahili Kupitia Mfumo wa Pamoja (Central Admission System)

Waombaji watakaopitia mfumo wa pamoja wa udahili (CAS) wamegawanyika katika makundi manne, ambapo waombaji wa kundi (i), (ii) na (iii) watatambuliwa kama “Direct Applicants” na kundi (iv) watatambuliwa kama “Indirect Applicants”

Waliohitimu elimu ya sekondari kidato cha sita katika kipindi cha miaka miwili iliyopita pamoja na wale watakaohitimu mwaka huu.

Waliohitimu mafunzo ya diploma ya elimu ya ufundi (NTA level 6) kutoka vyuo vinavyotambulika na NACTE miaka miwili iliyopita pamoja na wale watakaohitimu mwaka huu;

Waliohitimu mafunzo ya Diploma ya Ualimu (kutoka vyuo vinavyotambulika) katika kipindi cha miaka miwili iliyopita pamoja na wale watakaohitimu mwaka huu.

Waombaji ambao sio wa moja kwa moja (Indirect Applicants) ni wote waliohitimu kidato cha sita, Diploma ya Elimu ya Ufundi (NTA level 6) na Diploma ya Ualimu katika kipindi cha zaidi ya miaka miwili iliyopita (kuanzia 2009 kurudi nyuma).

1.2 Waombaji Watakaowasilisha Maombi yao Moja kwa Moja Vyuoni

Waombaji watakaowasilisha maombi kupitia vyuo husika ni wenye sifa linganishi (Equivalent Qualifications) yaani wenye vyeti vya Astashahada na Diploma ambazo hazitambuliwi moja kwa moja na NACTE. Ili kukamilisha udahili, wanashauriwa kuwasiliana na NACTE ili vyeti vyao vitambuliwe na kusajiliwa kabla udahili haujaanza.

Vyuo vinavyofundisha programu mbalimbali katika ngazi ya Astashahada na Diploma ambavyo havina usajili wa NACTE/NECTA vinatakiwa kuwasilisha matokeo ya wanafunzi wao NACTE haraka iwezekanavyo ili matokeo hayo yaweze kutumika katika utambuzi wa vyeti vya wanafunzi husika.

MUDA WA UDAHILI KWA MAKUNDI MBALIMBALI

Muda wa maombi wa kuwasilisha maombi ya udahili kwenye CAS umegawanyika katika makundi matatu kama ifuatavyo:

Kundi la Kwanza – (1 Aprili mpaka 30 Aprili 2012)

Waombaji wote waliomaliza kidato cha sita, Diploma ya Elimu ya Ufundi (NTA level 6), na Diploma ya Ualimu kuanzia mwaka 2011 kurudi nyuma wataanza kuomba udahili kuanzia Aprili 1, 2012 hadi 30 Aprili 2012.

Kundi la Pili

Waombaji wote watakaomaliza kidato cha sita, Diploma ya Elimu ya Ufundi na Diploma ya Ualimu mwaka 2012 wataanza kuomba udahili baada ya matokeo yao ya mitihani kutangazwa na vyombo husika. Hakuna mwanafunzi atakayesajiliwa kwa kutumia matokeo ya muda (provisional or expected results).

Kundi la Tatu

Waombaji wote ambao ni raia wa Tanzania waliosoma nje ya nchi au wenye vyeti ambavyo si vya mfumo wa elimu ya Tanzania (mfano: Cambridge, Bacclaureate, n.k). Waombaji wa kundi hili wanashauriwa kuomba udahili mara matokeo yao yatakapotangazwa na watatakiwa kupeleka vyeti vyao Baraza la Taifa la Mitihani (“National Examinations Council of Tanzania – NECTA”) au Baraza la Taifa la Elimu ya Ufundi (National Council for Technical Education - NACTE) kwa ajili ya kulinganisha alama zao za matokeo au kupata ithibati kabla ya kuanza kuomba udahili. Hakuna wanafunzi watakaodahiliwa kwa matokeo ya muda.

UTARATIBU WA MIKOPO

Bodi ya Mikopo ya Wanafunzi wa Elimu ya Juu kwa mamlaka iliyopewa kisheria itatoa mwongozo na utaratibu wa utoaji wa mikopo mwezi Februari 2012. Miongozo hii itachapishwa katika vyombo vya habari na kusambazwa kwenye vyuo vyote vya elimu ya juu nchini na Ofisi za Posta na kwa Wakuu wa Elimu kila wilaya. Maombi ya mikopo kwa mwaka wa masomo 2011/2012 yataanza kupokelewa ifikapo mwezi Machi 2012 na mwisho wa kupokea maombi ni tarehe 30 Juni 2012. Utaratibu huu utahusu waombaji wote wapya na wale walioko masomoni katika vyuo vya elimu ya juu.

HITIMISHO

Tunapenda kuwajulisha waombaji wote kuzingatia muda wao wa udahili kama ulivyoainishwa katika tangazo hili. Muda ukiisha hawataweza kuomba hadi mwaka wa masomo 2013/2014. Pia waombaji wote wanashauriwa kufuata taratibu za mikopo kam zitakazotolewa na Bodi ya Mikopo ili kuepuka usumbufu unaoweza kujitokeza katika swala hili

Vifaa na Mazingira Bora ya Kazi Huzaa Huduma Bora za Afya

Ni Jumatatu asubuhi. Hali ya hewa ya joto la kadiri ilikuwa ni kitu cha kawaida kwa maeneo haya ya Dar es Salaam kipindi cha miezi hii ya mwisho wa mwaka. Tupo darasani kwenye presentation ya somo linalohusu magonjwa ya figo. Mada ilihusu kushindwa kufanya kazi ghafla kwa figo au Acute Renal Failure kwa lugha ya wenzetu. Lilikuwa somo refu lililozungumzia kwa undani tatizo hilo. Baada ya mwenzetu mwasilishaji kumaliza kuwasilisha somo lake kikafuata kipindi cha maswali na majibu na masomo zaidi kutoka kwa Profesa aliyekuwa anasimamia ile mada.

Mada ilikuwa moto. Maswali yetu pamoja na uzoefu wa yule profesa ulitosha kuibua somo na majibu yaliyotosheleza kiu zetu za kujifunza zaidi. Kisha baada ya somo akauliza swali kwa hali ya utani kidogo, nani kati yenu anapenda kuwa Nephrologist (daktari bingwa wa magonjwa ya figo). Wote tulibaki kimya tukitazamana kisha mwanafunzi muwasilisha mada huku akitabasamu alininyoshea kidole akasema Fabby huyo. Profesa aliniangalia kisha akainamisha kichwa chini kwa masikitiko akasema “I feel sorry for you my friend (nakuonea huruma rafiki yangu)”. Sikuelewa kwanini alisema vile nikashtukia tu namuuliza “why Professor?” Huku bado akiendelea kunitazama akanijibu “because you will be seeing your patients dying everyday”. Jibu lake ghafla likanirudisha nyuma kama mwaka mmoja hivi nikiwa nafanya kazi hospitali moja ya Mission iliyopo mkoa fulani kusini mwa nchi. 

Ilikuwa siku ya Jumatano asubuhi. Hali ya kaubaridi baridi iliyokuwepo siku hiyo iliashiria kuanza kwa siku njema. Ninaingia wodini na kusalimiana na wauguzi wa wodi yangu kabla ya kuingia ofisini kujiandaa na round. Nilikuwa na kawaida ya kuanza siku kwa kufanya round kwa wagonjwa waliolazwa kabla ya kuingia ofisini kuwaona wagonjwa wengine wapya na wale wanaokuja kwa ajili ya follow up. 

Baada ya kuwaona wagonjwa kadhaa, nikakifikia kitanda cha mgonjwa mpya aliyekuwa amelazwa usiku wa kuamkia siku hiyo na kuonwa na Clinical officer aliyekuwa zamu. Ni binti wa miaka takribani 20 (kwa sababu za kimaadili sitataja jina, umri wake halisi, mahali anapoishi wala details zake nyingine). 

Hali yake ilikuwa mbaya maana alikuwa amenyong’onyea na alikuwa akipumua kwa shida sana. Mpira wa mkojo ulikuwa ukining’inia pembeni ya kitanda lakini hakukuwa na kitu ndani yake. Uso wake ulionekana kuvimba kwa mbali na alikuwa akizungumza kwa shida. Midomo ilikuwa mikavu na hata ngozi yake ilionekana iliyosinyaa na kavu kuliko kawaida. Nilimuita mwangalizi wake na kuanza kuchukua upya historia ya mgonjwa maana yeye mwenyewe alikuwa akizungumza kwa shida sana. 

Mwangalizi aliniambia kuwa mgonjwa wake, alianza kupata tatizo la kukosa mkojo kwa ghafla kama siku saba zilizopita. Hawakujua sababu hivyo wakadhani ni mambo ya ushirikina wakaamua kumpeleka kwa mganga wa kienyeji ambaye alikaa naye siku tatu huku akimnywesha kila aina ya miti shamba lakini bila mafanikio.

Akasema, “tulipoona hali yake bado ipo vile vile tukaamua kumkimbiza hapa ili tujaribu huduma za kizungu. Kwahiyo kwa ujumla ana siku kama kumi tangu tatizo lilipojitokeza. Wakati tupo kwa mganga angalau hali yake ilikuwa siyo mbaya sana lakini jana usiku ndiyo hali ikabadilika tukaamua kumkimbiza huku. Sasa hivi hali chochote maana analalamika kichefuchefu muda wote, na akijaribu kula tu anatapika chote. Wakati mwingine anaongea vitu havieleweki basi baba ndiyo hivyo hivyo tu”.

Baada ya kuuliza maswali zaidi kulingana na taratibu zetu, kwa muonekano wa mgonjwa na historia yake harakaharaka niliweza kuhisi ni kitu gani kitakuwa kinamsumbua huyu mgonjwa. Niliamua kumfanyia uchunguzi wa mwili (physical examination) ili kuona vishiria vingine vya ugonjwa. Alikuwa na dalili zote za mtu mwenye matatizo ya figo, na mbaya zaidi alikuwa katika hali ya hatari zaidi ya ugonjwa.

Uchunguzi ulionesha, pamoja na dalili nyingine, kuwa alikuwa amevimba miguu (pedal edema) kwa kiasi fulani, tumbo lake lilishaanza kuvimba (ascites) na alikuwa akipumua kwa shida  sana (dysponea), alikuwa na dalili za upungufu wa damu (anemia) na ngozi kavu kuliko kawaida kuonesha kuwa alikuwa amepungukiwa maji mwilini (dehydrated). 

Nikaagiza tufanye vipimo kadhaa kama vile vya kuchunguza utendaji kazi figo, vya kuchunguza uwiano wa madini/chumvi mwilini (electrolytes analysis), ultrasound ya tumbo, vipimo vya moyo na vipimo vingine kadiri nilivyoona inafaa.

Ingawa vingi ya vipimo nilivyoagiza vilishindikana kufanyika ama kwa vile hakukuwa na vifaa vya kufanyia vipimo hivyo au hatukuwa na wataalamu wa maabara wenye ujuzi wa kufanya vipimo hivyo pamoja na kuwepo kwa mashine, bado niliweza kupata jawabu la tatizo lililokuwa linamsumbua mgonjwa wangu ingawa nakiri sikuweza kufahamu chanzo hasa cha ugonjwa wake ni nini kwa vile hatukuwa na vipimo vya kufanya hivyo. Alikuwa akisumbuliwa na kushindwa kufanya kazi ghafla kwa figo yaani Acute Renal Failure (ARF) na kwa dalili zake tayari alishafikia hatua ya kuwa na kiasi kikubwa cha madini ya potassium katika damu (hyperkalemia) na kwamba mrundikano wa uchafu mwilini ulikuwa katika kiwango cha hali ya juu kwa sababu figo zilishaacha kufanya kazi zake inavyotakiwa.

Pamoja na kumuanzishia matibabu, katika hali aliyokuwa nayo matibabu sahihi ilikuwa kwanza kufahamu chanzo cha tatizo ili kukitibu, kumfanyia dialysis ili kutoa uchafu mwilini na hatimaye kama ikionekana figo zimekufa kabisa basi afanyiwe upandikizaji wa figo mpya.

Nilipowaeleza yeye na mwangalizi wake kuhusu matokeo ya vipimo, hatua ya ugonjwa iliyofikiwa na nini cha kufanya ghafla niliona machozi yanamlengalenga mwangalizi. Kwa kweli alistahili kuwa vile. Kwa unyonge akaniuliza, “sasa baba hayo matibabu mnaweza kuyafanya hapa.” Nilimtazama tena na kwa kujitutumua ilibidi nimueleze tu ukweli kuwa hatuna uwezo wa kufanya dialysis pale kwetu, na wala hospitali ya karibu ya mkoa haina uwezo wa kufanya hivyo mjipigepige mumsafirishe mgonjwa Dar es Salaam kwa matibabu zaidi. 

Kama aliyekuwa anasubiri bomu zaidi nikamtajia na gharama za kufanya hayo matibabu na muda anaotakiwa kufanyiwa. Mama mwangalizi alinyamaza kwa sekunde kadhaa kama mtu anayefikiria kitu kisha kwa unyonge akasema , “baba kwa umaskini wetu huu hali yenyewe hii unaiona nilivyo. 

Naomba chonde chonde ujitahidi kufanya lolote lile hapa kama Mungu akipenda kumchukua basi mapenzi yake yafanyike maana hatuna uwezo wa kumsafirisha siyo tu kwenda huko Dar es Salaam bali hata hapo mkoani hatuwezi kufika”. Sikuwa na jinsi zaidi ya kuendelea na matibabu na kufanya kwa kadiri ya uwezo wangu kuokoa maisha ya mgonjwa wangu. 

Nasikitika kuwa baada ya masaa kadhaa mgonjwa yule alifariki kwa mshtuko wa moyo kama complication ya hypekalemia. Nilihuzunika sana lakini sikuwa na jinsi zaidi ya kuendelea kuchapa kazi kuhudumia wagonjwa wengine.

Kwanini nimekikumbuka hiki kisa?
Hiki ni kisa kimoja tu kati ya visa vingi vingi ambavyo madaktari wanakutana navyo kila siku katika utendaji wao wa kazi. Kushuhudia uhai ukipotea wakati ungeweza kuokoa maisha lakini huna vifaa au wataalamu wa kusaidiana nawe ni jambo linaloumiza sana kwa daktari na watoa huduma ya afya kwa ujumla wake. 

Nawafahamu wenzangu waliowahi kufanya operesheni kwa kutumia mwanga wa tochi za simu baada ya umeme kukatika hospitalini kukiwa hakuna jenereta wala taa hata ya kandili, wapo waliolazimika kubuni mbinu mbadala baada ya kukosekana maji ya drip (iv fluids) kwa ajili ya matibabu. 

Hapa majuzi tumesikia kuhusu watumishi wa hospitali moja ya misheni huko mkoani Manyara wanaolazimika kutumia vipande vya nguo na mashuka kama gloves wakati wa kuhudumia wagonjwa, ipo mifano mingi mingi inayoonesha uzembe wa watendaji wanaotakiwa kuboresha mazingira ya kazi ili watoa huduma ya afya waweze kutoa huduma katika mazingira salama kwao wenyewe na kwa wagonjwa wao na hivyo kuokoa maisha yao.

Kifo cha mgonjwa yule kingeweza kuzuilika au hata kucheleweshwa kwa mfano kama hospitali ya mkoa ingewezeshwa kutoa huduma ya dialysis kiasi cha kuweza kumkimbiza mgonjwa hospitalini hapo haraka. Lakini pia ingewezekana kuwa katika wakati mzuri wa kutambua chanzo cha ugonjwa wake kama hospitali ile ingekuwa na vifaa vya uhakika vya vipimo na pengine kulipatia ufumbuzi bila hata kuhitaji kumpa referral. Ipo mifano mingi yenye kufanana na hiyo. 

Mgogoro unaondelea hivi sasa nchini kati ya madaktari kwa upande mmoja na serikali kwa upande mwingine ni jambo linalosikitisha kutokana na jinsi suala hili lilivyoshughulikiwa na watendaji wakuu wa wizara pamoja na kuwa madai ya madaktari hawa ni ya msingi sana. Moja ya madai ya madaktari ni kutaka uboreshaji wa hospitali na vituo vyetu vya afya kwa maana ya vitendea kazi na mazingira ya kufanyia kazi. Dai hili siyo tu lina nia njema ya kuwahakikishia madaktari wanafanya kazi katika mazingira bora yenye vitendea kazi vya uhakika bali pia linahusu afya njema kwa ajili ya wananchi wenyewe. Kwa maneno mengine madai ya madaktari yanahusu pia ustawi wa afya za wananchi wengine na siyo maslahi yao tu binafsi.

Ni aibu sana kwa hospitali ya Taifa, kwa mfano, kukatikiwa umeme bila kuwa na chanzo kingine mbadala cha umeme huku ukitegemea watoa huduma hawa kuacha kunung’unika. Haiingii akilini hospitali ya Wilaya kukosa hata strips za kupimia sukari mwilini na kisha ukategemea wafanyakazi wawe na furaha na kazi yao. Haingii akilini wauguzi wafurahie kufanya kazi kwenye wodi ambayo wagonjwa wamelala watatu watatu kwenye kitanda kimoja. Ni aibu, ni aibu, ni aibu. 

Pamoja na nia njema ya madai hayo, bado inasikitisha kuona jinsi ambavyo serikali kupitia kwa Waziri Mkuu walivyoona kuwa hakuna njia ya kuweza kushughulika na madai hayo zaidi ya KUAMURU madaktari kurudi kazini kana kwamba AMRI inaweza kuboresha mazingira ya kazi. Kumlazimisha tabibu pamoja na watoa huduma wengine wa afya kurudi katika mazingira yale yale wanayoyapigia kelele siyo tu hakutatui tatizo bali kunaongeza ukubwa wa tatizo. 

Hakuna tabibu na muuguzi atakayefanya kazi kwa moyo mmoja huku akiwa na hasira na kinyongo kwanza kwa kuamrishwa bila kusikilizwa anachodai lakini pili kwa kulazimishwa kurudi katika mazingira yaleyale anayodai yarekebishwe. Hatari ninayoina ni kwa wagonjwa kuzidi kupoteza maisha na wengine kuishia kupata vilema kutokana na matibabu butu watakayopewa na wahudumu wasioridhika. Na haya yakitokea wahudumu wa afya kamwe wasilaumiwe!

Amri, vitisho, ubabe wala kamata kamata ya madaktari siyo suluhisho la matatizo. Ni matumaini yangu, wale wenye mamlaka wataona uzito wa madai ya madaktari na kuyapatia ufumbuzi wa kweli badala ya kuyapatia majibu ya kisiasa yenye vitisho na nia ya kufunika kombe ili mwanaharamu apite. 

Kinyume na hapo ni kuahirisha matatizo na kuendelea kuhatarisha afya za wananchi wengi masikini na wengine kufa kama yule binti. Lakini pia ni matumaini yetu, wananchi watatambua nia njema ya madaktari ya kutaka kuboreshewa mazingira yao ya kazi ili wananchi nao waweze kupatiwa huduma bora zaidi na uhakika tofauti na sasa.
