Abstract

Purpose: This study assessed the role of maritime education institutions in enhancing education standards in Tanzania, focusing on the Dar es Salaam Maritime Institute (DMI). It examined the effectiveness of DMI’s training programs, their alignment with international standards, key challenges, and proposed improvements. Methodology: Using a descriptive mixed-methods design, data were collected from 115 students and alumni through questionnaires, and 21 faculty members through interviews. Findings: Analysis showed that while DMI’s curriculum aligns well with STCW standards and delivers strong theoretical knowledge, gaps remain in practical training, technology access, and internship opportunities. Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study supports the Competency-Based Education (CBE) theory, highlights the need for policy support and infrastructure investment, and offers practical recommendations to strengthen DMI’s capacity to produce industry-ready maritime professionals.
