The location of the University/college
in Butiama, which is the home
village
of
Mwalimu Nyerere
, is ideal to conduct agricultural and rural development
studies, and would attract students from the Northern Tanzania
and Southern Kenya as well as
Burundi
,
Rwanda
and
Western Congo
, as a safe heaven. The nearby Lake Victoria and
Serengeti
National Park
will be of interest to the students from all over the
world. The current development of an airport in the Serengeti
area, which is situated near to the proposed college, will
be beneficial to the college and it's students.
The main focus of the college
is to offer the Tanzanian youth the best opportunity in modern
rural vocational education amidst the natural rural environment
and foster the on going rural activities in the modern advanced
manner. Upon its completion the college will be the first of its
kind in East Africa and will contribute directly towards the
development of
Tanzania
and
Africa
as a whole and strive towards better education in agriculture
and a wider range of other development activities.
The late Mwalimu’s idea had a vital
message to bring positive changes to rural villagers. Our motto
is to move Africans towards the new modern rural life through
vocational based training.
The college will therefore offer education in the areas of agriculture and rural development and
Students will participate in community based rural development
projects, with the aim of improving the quality of life in
the communities, in line with Mwalimu's ideas of self-reliance.
