Dodoma. The government has appealed to the private sector to invest in the construction of student hostels near public universities, as part of efforts to address a growing shortage of accommodation for university students.
Speaking in Parliament yesterday, the Minister for Education, Science and Technology, Prof Adolf Mkenda, said the current demand for student housing exceeds the capacity of available dormitories in many public universities across the country.
