Waajiri walioshindwa kuwasilisha taarifa za Wahitimu wanaodaiwa na Bodi ya Mikopo ya Elimu (HESLB) Kikaangoni

Mkurugenzi Msaidizi Urejeshaji Mikopo kutoka Bodi ya Mikopo ya Elimu ya Juu Bw. Robert Kibona akitoa mada wakati wa mkutano mkuu wa mwaka wa Wakurugenzi wa Utawala na Rasilimaliwatu Serikalini mjini Dodoma

Bodi ya Mikopo ya Elimu ya Juu nchini imepanga kuwachukulia hatua waajiri wote nchini kwa kushindwa kuwasilisha taarifa za wahitimu wa elimu ya juu wanaodaiwa na Bodi hiyo.

Hayo yalisemwa na Mkurugenzi Msaidizi Urejeshaji Mikopo kutoka Bodi ya Mikopo ya Elimu ya Juu Bw. Robert Kibona alipokuwa akitoa mada kuhusu urejeshwaji wa mikopo ya elimu ya juu kwenye mkutano mkuu wa mwaka wa Wakurugenzi wa Utawala na Rasilimali watu Serikali ni mjini Dodoma jana.

“Mpaka sasa tumewachukulia hatua jumla ya waajiri watano ambao wameshindwa kuwasilisha taarifa za watumishi wao wanaodaiwa na Bodi ya Mikopo ya Elimu ya Juu”  alisema Bw. Robert.

Alisema, mwajiria atakayeshindwa kutoa taarifa za wahitimu wa elimu ya juu katika Bodi kwawakati atatakiwa kulipa faini ya shilingi milioni saba au kutumikia kifungo kisichopungua miezi 12 au vyote kwa pamoja.

Aidha, Bw. Robert alisema kuwa mpaka sasa takribani waajiriwa18 wamefikishwa mahakamani kwa kosa la kushindwa kurejesha mikopo hiyo.

Bw. Robert alifafanua kuwa ilikufanikisha zoezi la urejeshaji mikopo kutoka kwa wadaiwa, Bodi ya Mikopo ya Elimu ya Juu inatunga sheria na mifumo mbalimbali ya kuwadhibiti wadaiwa hao.

“Tunatengeneza sheria ambazo zitawazuia wadaiwa wa mikopo ya elimu ya juu kupata hati ya kusafiria nje ya nchi au kibali cha kusafiri hadi atakapowasilia na na Bodi.”

Pia, alisema mhitimu atakayeshindwa kulipa mkopo taarifa zake zitatangazwa kwenye vyombo vya habari na kwenye taasisi za mikopo iliasipate huduma yoyote ya kifedha.

Naye, Msaidizi wa Mkurugenzi Mtendaji Bodi ya Mikopo ya Elimu ya Juu Dk. Veronica Nyahende amewataka wahitimu wa elimu ya juu nchini kutumia elimu waliyonayo kujiajiri wenyewe badala ya kusubiri kuajiriwa.

Alisema changamoto ya kurejesha mikopo ni kubwa kwa upande wa wahitimu wa elimu ya juu ambao hawana kazi ama hawajajiajiri.

“Changamoto iliyopo niwahitimu kushindwa kulipa mikopo hiyo kutokana na kuwa na kipato cha chini ama kukosa ajira.”

Alisema Bodi imeingia mkataba nakampuni zitakazokusanya mikopo kwa walionufaika na mikopo hiyo nakushindwa kuilipa.

Bodi ya Mikopo ya Elimu ya Juu iko katika mchakato wa kuelimisha umma na watendaji wakuu Serikalini ili kuhakikisha wanawasilisha taarifa za watumishi wao wanaodaiwa mikopo hiyo.

Tanzanian graduates with unpaid HESLB loans to be denied 'visas'

Graduates from higher learning education institutions who have not repaid their higher education loans will no longer get permits to travel outside Tanzania until they clear their debts.

The plan is to implement in joint efforts between the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training and the Immigration Department.

Deputy Minister for Education and Vocational Training, Jenister Mhagama, told the House:

“We will not issue visas to graduates who have acquired loans from the Higher Education Students Loans Board (HESLB) and not settled the debts.
“We are ready to bring to parliament a list of our plans to recover the loans…and we are determined to get the money back so that it may be used to educate other students.”

She also said that ongoing issuance of national IDs will help HESLB track the defaulters. 

She said the government is considering re-introduction the bond program that was in use in the early 1970s when the government used to sign special bonds with students to ensure that they work in the country for a specific period of time as repayment of their loans before they would be allowed to travel abroad for work.

The Deputy Minister was responding to a question by Namelock Sokoine (CCM-Special Seats) which was asked on her behalf by Betty Machangu (also CCM- Special Seats). 

In her main question, Sokoine wanted to know whether the government had any plans to ensure that graduate teachers who have benefited from education loans do not leave the country without paying them back.

In a supplementary question, Machangu expressed concerns over HESLB’s failure to recover loans from graduates and inquired as to what plans the board has to do so efficiently.

In a related development, Mhagama said a total of 89,500 secondary school teachers are required in the country, but there are only 74,250 of them and to bridge this gap, the government is prioritizing loans to students seeking to become teachers.
