The Council's Acting Executive Secretary for Institutional Guidance and Support, Dr Adolf Rutayuga
The new system will be used to admit students into Certificate, Diploma and Bachelor degree programs.
Speaking to reporters in Dar es Salaam yesterday, the Council’s
Acting Executive Secretary for Institutional Guidance and Support, Dr
Adolf Rutayuga said in 2015/2016 academic year, they started using
online CAS system to enroll students in health and education for
certificate and diploma programs.
Dr Rutayuga noted that the council has been working in
collaboration with Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) in
coordinating enrolment of students in different universities for first
degree programs through CAS.
He said the online system showed significant success and it helped
to reduce the number of applicants with fake certificates as well as
costs to students and institutions when applying for different
institutions.
The other advantage of the new system includes is that eliminates
the possibility of one applicant to be enrolled in more than one
institution. This enables the government to have correct data on the
students who have applied and enrolled to join different higher learning
institutions, he said.
He further noted that by recognizing the success, registrations
through CAS, the government through Ministry of Education, science,
Technology and Vocational Training has decided that all applications for
the said program must be filled by using online CAS system.
Dr Rutayuga said that anyone interested in applying for studies for
the 2016/2017 academic year, applications must be strictly done by
using the online CAS system which is supervised by NACTE and TCU.
“We would like to announce that applications for certificate and
diploma programs by using CAS will officially start to be accepted
today,” he added.
He further said that NECTA will start receiving applications for
degree programs from Diploma holders through the same system starting
today.
