Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) has blocked 19 local and foreign higher learning institutions from enrolling new students from September for failure to meet standards.

According to TCU, the move was precipitated by findings in an assessment report on the quality of education provided by the universities and colleges in the country, conducted between September and October 2016.
