Finance Minister Hamis Omary said the cash has already helped tons of Tanzanians get their operations running while the government keeps pushing public institutions to give 30 percent of their contracts to these groups. Education funding went up from 787 billion to 916 billion shillings, and student loan recipients bumped from 250,000 to over 252,000. The Samia Scholarship covers full tuition for science students, with around 2,630 people set to benefit next academic year. Over 22,000 girls who bailed on school got back into classes, and the government built sports fields plus arts halls across the country to keep young talent engaged. The agriculture sector hands out 58 percent of jobs to youth through programs like Building Better Tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
