THE College of Business Education (CBE) has achieved remarkable milestones in the past five years, with 288 research works authored by its experts published in international journals, reflecting the institution's commitment to high-quality, globally recognised standards.
Speaking in Dar es Salaam yesterday, CBE Rector Prof Edda Lwoga highlighted the college’s achievements during a media briefing ahead of its 60th anniversary celebration. The event, scheduled for next week at the CBE main campus in the city, will feature Deputy Prime Minister Dr. Doto Biteko as the guest of honour, along with over 300 distinguished guests.
Prof. Lwoga attributed the college’s success in research to strong collaborations with national and international institutions, which have significantly elevated the quality and impact of its research.
"Our partnerships with various global institutions have enriched our curriculum and contributed to the steady growth in student enrolment," she said.
Over six decades, CBE has produced thousands of graduates equipped with skills to become self-reliant entrepreneurs. In recent years, the college has introduced apprenticeship and incubation programmes, empowering graduates to secure employment and excel in business ventures.
CBE was established in 1965 through a bilateral agreement between the governments of Tanzania and Germany. Since its inauguration by the late President Julius K. Nyerere, the institution has grown into a leader in business education, continually adapting to market needs by expanding its programmes and facilities.
Prof. Lwoga noted that the college, which began with one campus in Dar es Salaam and an enrolment of 30 students, now has four campuses and a total enrolment of 22,263 students. The Dar es Salaam campus accommodates 14,536 students, followed by Dodoma with 4,611, Mwanza with 2,098, and Mbeya with 1,018 students.
CBE offers 63 academic programmes, ranging from diploma to master’s degrees. The institution employs 499 staff members, including 244 lecturers, ensuring delivery of high-quality education and services.
The 60th anniversary celebration will include the launch of CBE’s 50-Year Vision, the signing of agreements with various stakeholders, gift distributions, entertainment, and a cake-cutting ceremony.
Prof. Lwoga emphasised the college’s commitment to advancing research and innovation that supports Tanzania’s sustainable economic growth.
"CBE remains a trailblazer in strengthening business education and fostering productive knowledge for national development. Our ongoing investments in innovative studies and research aim to build a resilient economy in Tanzania and the East African region," she stated.
