Short History of Magamba 1961

The Usambara-Digo Lutheran Church under the leadership of Rev. Heinrich Waltenberg bought the famous Magamba Country Club at which Usambara Trade School (UTS) was opened in order to offer vocational training courses in tailoring, carpentry, metal work, mechanics and shoe-making. The UTS was supported by Bethel Mission and Mr. Gephard Waltenberg was involved in the work at UTS. A secondary school was also opened at UTS and Mr. Kolbjorn Riiser from Norway was the first Headmaster of the Secondary School. He was replaced by Mr. Michael Chesterman who was a missionary sent by the English Baptist Society. Chesterman worked as Headmaster from 1961 until 1963. During that time, new buildings were constructed a kilometer away from UTS. The secondary school moved to the new campus. It is at the UTS where renovations have paved way for the first campus of the university, Campus A.

1962

The construction of Magamba Secondary School was funded by the National Lutheran Council (New York) and the World Bank. The architect was an Estonian expatriate, Harry Poderso, who had his office in Tanga. The general contractor was Patel Constructions from Dar Es Salaam.

1963

On 9th of February 1963, the buildings of the Secondary School were officially inaugurated at Campus B and the students moved from Campus A. The Minister of Education, Hon. Solomon Eliufoo, performed the inauguration ceremony. Rev. Lazaro Mchalo said the prayers and led the joint Usambara Brass Band. Michael Chesterman was the Headmaster of Magamba Secondary School during the inauguration. Later this year, Chesterman handed over the position of Headmaster to Mr. Paul Gustafson.

8

1963-1965

Mr. Paul Gustafson worked as the third Headmaster of Magamba Secondary School. He arrived at Magamba in 1962, having been called to work as Science teacher. Mr. Gustafson was sent by Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). At the end of 1963 or beginning of 1964, Mr. Uwe Puttfarken sent by Bethel Mission took over the leadership of UTS.

1965

Mr. Joseph Elinaza replaced Mr. Gustafson and became the first African Headmaster of Magamba Secondary School, serving until mid-1966 when he was replaced by Mr. Gideon Chaghuza.

1969

Government of Tanzania nationalised Magamba Secondary School. Mr. Gideon Chaguza was Headmaster at that time Headmasters who served when the school was under the Government included Mr. Mwaipopo, Mr. Mmbaga, Mr. Mananga, Mr. Dimoso, Mr. Singano and Mr. Minja.

1978

The NED decided to close down the Trade School. Both training and production units were suspended.

1979

Carpentry and metalwork units re-opened for production purposes only under a new name, Usambara Technology Centre (UTC). The premises formerly used for training during the Trade School continued to stand unutilised. New leader at UTC was Robert Hoza.

1982

The training premises at the Trade School were reopened. Tailoring courses were reintroduced. UTC was now functioning both as training and production institution. Robert Hoza continued to lead the UTC. In March 1982, ELCT’s School for deaf children, which had started in Masoka (Moshi) in 1981, was moved to Magamba. The transfer was done very much with the help of the late Bishop Dr. Sebastian Kolowa. 31 pupils came to Magamba and they were hosted in some of the houses at UTC. Miss Anni Kauppinen from Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Mission (FELM) was the Head of the School.

1985

In December 1985, the Deaf School was transferred to 9

Mwanga where permanent premises had been prepared. Mr. Elirehema Mgonja took over the leadership of the School for the Deaf 1988

Robert Hoza died. Ernest Mbondei took over the leadership of UTC.

1994

The training unit at UTC was closed down. Carpentry and metal production units continue to operate to-date. The Head of UTC at the time of closing was Ernest Mbondei.

2002

The Executive Council of the NED decided to prepare the premises at former UTC for new vocational training, including courses in Agriculture. The teachers at Agricultural Training at Irente Farm (ATIFA) were given the responsibility to plan for and prepare the venue and courses. The plans were however abandoned due to uncertainty regarding the feasibility of the project, particularly after the suspension of ATIFA in 2004. During the same year, the idea of renovating the buildings into a conference centre was discussed and accepted. However, the implementation staggered due to lack of funds.

2003

The NED sent the first letter to the Minister of Education and Culture requesting to get back Magamba Secondary School for purposes of establishing a University College. Bishop Dr. Stephen Munga wrote the letter to the Minister, Hon. Joseph Mungai.

Oct. 2005

Magamba Secondary School was officially returned to the ELCT-NED.

06.02.2006

Renovation of Campus A supervised by the NED’s building department started.

06.07.2007

TCU granted SEKUCo the Certificate of Provisional Registration

10

The Name of the University On 25th November 2005, the Executive Council of the NED formally declared that the university college should be named after the first African bishop of the Diocese. Thus on 28th October 2007, this institution was inaugurated as SEBASTIAN KOLOWA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE (SEKUCo) OF TUMAINI UNIVERSITY On 30th September 2012, SEKUCo was transformed into a full-fledged higher learning institution known as SEBASTIAN KOLOWA MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY (SEKOMU)

Rev. Sebastian Kolowa (born 2nd May 1933) was elected to the position of Bishop in 1972 and consecrated in 1974. Two years later, he became the Presiding Bishop of the ELCT. After completing his doctoral studies in Munich, Germany, he acquired the Doctor of Theology award in 1987. Bishop Dr. Sebastian Kolowa died on 26th October 1992. It is in honour of this renowned, yet very humble servant of God, that the University continues to bear its name.

11

Vision and Mission Statements Vision Our Vision is to be a leading African institution of higher learning that fully recognises and actively professes the human value and dignity of all society members, including people with disabilities, and whereby everyone is able to learn and live in harmony with God, fellow human beings and all creation *** Mission Our Mission is to provide High Quality University Level Education that produces graduates who can integrate the Needs, Rights and Potentials of People with different abilities into a holistic perspective of life and creation in various fields of expertise, building upon traditional knowledge simultaneously as we open creative ways for new and constructive innovations. *** We mention “people with disabilities” in our Vision and Mission statement because:  Most National, Regional and District plans do not include people with disabilities;  Anyone can acquire disability, temporarily or permanently, during the course of life;  In our view, one criterion which a nation’s civilisation ought to be measured by, is how it treats citizens who have disabilities;  For almost 125 years, the NED has been putting emphasis on supporting people who are in the lowest stratum of the social pyramid, e.g., people affected by disabilities, leprosy, loss of parents, HIV/AIDS, mental health problems and other vulnerable groups.

12

SEKOMU is therefore running programmes which focus directly on producing graduates who will be equipped intellectually, practically and emotionally to serve people who have physical, sensory, mental, emotional and socio-economic disabilities. At the same time, issues about the needs, rights and potentials of people who have various forms of disabilities are mainstreamed into all SEKOMU programmes. We are also creating conducive study environment for students who have disabilities.

Accreditation SEKOMU is a full-fledged University with a Certificate of Full Registration from the Tanzania Commission for Universities.  Stipulated University governance regulations are thereby imperative as we run our University.  The organisational set-up and the policies of SEKOMU are established by the institution’s Council.  In maintaining financial sustainability, SEKOMU focuses on using its resources optimally by identifying ways of generating income based on the University’s Five Years Strategic Plan and Financial Regulations.

Membership SEKOMU is a full member of the Inter University Council for East Africa (IUCEA) and the Tanzania Association of Private Universities (TAPU).

Academic integrity SEKOMU runs programmes which are in harmony with its Vision and Mission. There are strategies of strengthening SEKOMU’s academic endeavour in terms of Theoretical Knowledge, Practical Training, Research and Services.

Theoretical Knowledge SEKOMU provides the students with a strong foundation of theoretical knowledge upon which practical readiness and creativity is built.

Practical Training  Cooperating with learning institutions of all levels, working with special needs and inclusive approaches, SEKOMU provides its students with good practical knowledge at Irente Children’s Home, 13

Irente School for the Blind, Irente Rainbow School, Irente Biodiversity Reserve and Mabughai Upendo.  Various societies clubs and forums led by students enhance practical readiness e.g. the Sign Language Club, Law Society and Nature Conservation Club.  Lutindi Mental Hospital was opened in 1904 and is well-known for its respectful treatment of people with mental health challenges. The hospital and its outreach clinic located at Korogwe will be used to provide practical training to students enrolled under the programme of Mental Health and Rehabilitation. A fruitful transmission of practical experience will be upheld by maintaining admissions of pre-service and in-service students.

Research  Priority is given to research that promotes innovation in developing alternative modes of pedagogics and communication.  The University has research partners in Tanzania and abroad. Nelson Mandela African Institute of Science and Technology, Sokoine University of Agriculture, K.U. Leuven (Belgium) and Hannover University (Germany) and Linnaeus University (Sweden) are just some of them.

Services  Faculties conduct outreach programmes which enhance practical skills among students while providing services to communities.  The unique and beautiful nature of Magamba makes the university an attractive venue for meetings, seminars, workshops and retreats.  Students serve needy people through the Institute of Diaconic Studies.  The Institute of Justice and Peace engages in advocacy, awareness creation and emancipation of the least advantaged by offering civic education to community leaders, development groups and the population at large.

8. REGULATIONS GOVERNING TRANSFER OF STUDENTS AND CREDIT 8.1 General Regulations Student credit transfer is only permissible between SEKOMU and other Universities. (i) 8.1.2 Student credit transfer applies to both undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes. (ii) 8.1.3 Credit transfer can only be allowed if such credits have been obtained within a period of not more than two years. (iii) 8.1.4 Students will be required to undertake at least 2/3 of degree programme credits at SEKOMU. Maximum credit allowable for transfer, therefore, is 1/3 of the required credits of a SEKOMU degree programme. (iv) 8. 1.5 SEKOMU students on study-abroad programmes shall be allowed to transfer credits obtained from the other University to SEKOMU.

8.2 Conditions Governing Student Credit Transfer from other Universities to SEKOMU The Higher Learning Institution which a student wants to transfer credits from must be a University recognised by a regulatory body in the country assigned to deal with such matters and the accreditation status of the institution shall be independently verified by SEKOMU and the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU). If in doubt, SEKOMU reserves the right to either give an applicant a performance verification test or reject the application altogether. The applying student must have an active degree programme registration at his/her institution. The applicant's academic entry qualifications in the previous University shall be similar to that required by SEKOMU including the respective programme's cut-off point in the relevant year. 84

8.3 Conditions Governing Student Credit Transfer from SEKOMU to other Universities Transfer of credits from SEKOMU to other universities will be governed by the regulations of the receiving University and those of the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU).

8.4 Criteria for Establishing Equivalency of Courses Courses can be judged to be equivalent to SEKOMU courses if they meet the following criteria: The course must be from a programme of the same level as that of SEKOMU, i.e., Bachelor’s degree course for undergraduate degree courses. Courses at intermediate levels such as Advanced Diploma or Higher Diploma levels are not acceptable. The course must have a theoretical component i.e. involving final examination, except for clinical-based or practical only courses. Course content must be at least 75% similar to that of the SEKOMU course. The number of teaching hours used to cover the course must not be less than 75% of those used at SEKOMU. It has to be assured that Grading and Assessment criteria of the programme are compatible and acceptable by the Senate. Expenses paid to SEKOMU by the student or requesting University have to be accepted by SEKOMU. Once a course has been accepted as being equivalent to a SEKOMU course as per the criteria, the course shall be given the same number of credits as that of the course at SEKOMU regardless of the credits/units in the other University.

85

8.5 Rules regulating Conversion of Grades 8. 5.1

8.5.2

Conversion of grades shall be done by anchoring the pass mark of the other university to that of SEKOMU and accordingly determining the range of marks in the other University for the SEKOMU grades. In the case where only grades (and not scored marks) are available, the lower equivalent grade shall be assumed.

8.6 Procedures and Administration of Student Credit Transfer 8.6.1 Applications for credit transfer should be submitted to the Deputy Vice Chancellor for Academics, Research and Consultancy in writing, attaching copies of all required supporting documents (see 8.6.4). 8.6.2 All applications shall be scrutinized by the Admission Officer/Registrar under the general supervision of the Deputy Vice Chancellor for Academics, Research and Consultancy and the Faculty to which the applicant wishes to transfer, before reaching the Senate for approval. 8.6.3 Students transferring from other universities to SEKOMU shall apply for credit transfer at least three months before the beginning of the semester they want to join. Cases of SEKOMU's studyabroad students shall be dealt with on case by case basis. 8.6.4 Supporting documents for credit transfer application shall include the following: (i) Official transcript (to be sent by the other university) (ii) Letter of introduction/recommendation from the previous university (iii) Course description, catalogue or syllabus (to include number of hours of teaching, method of assessment and grading system) (iv) An official translation of the original documents (in case of non-English documents) (v) Photo-attached personal identification documents e.g. Birth certificate, passport or ID (vi) Certified copies of the original certificates used to gain admission into the previous university. 86

8.6.5 The following are reasons that shall be acceptable for credit transfer, in addition to meeting credit transfer criteria: (i) Courses not offered at the University of registration (applies only for short-term transfers) (ii) Illness (to be certified by SEKOMU medical officer in-charge) (iii) Exchange programmes (iv) Refugee situation (v) Returning resident 8.6.6 Credit transfer applicants must pay a non-refundable fee to be determined from time to time; however, SEKOMU students on study-abroad programmes are not supposed to pay such fees as they had already paid the fee when applying for admission into the University.

8. 7 Rules Governing Intra-programme Transfers Students who are recommended to repeat the first year of study may, subject to the approval of the Senate, be allowed to transfer to a programme of their choice provided they meet the entry requirements of the programme.

8.8 Policy Governing Loss of Certificate In case of loss or total or partial destruction of the original certificate or a copy thereof, the University Office of the DVC ARC or such other office as authorised by DVC ARC in writing may issue a copy or another copy on condition that: i)

(b) The Numerical code of courses The number – part of any course code carries specific information: 1st number = 2nd number = 3rd and 4th number =

Year of study (when the course is to be taken/is actually taken). Semester (of each Academic Year, when the course is to be taken/is actually taken) The ordinal number (between 01– 99) of the course in each subject as defined by its three-letter course code above. This number specifically identifies the course together with the three letters.

Thus, e.g. SBEN 21 11 Range Ecology and Management is the 11th course of Faculty of Science’s courses taken by all students, to be organized during the Second Academic Year’s first Semester. 94

If this course, due to whichever reason, would be arranged during Year 3, first Semester, it would be coded SBEN 31 11. This allows courses to be coded into the Students’ Academic Information System SARIS in a manner reflecting the actual time of the course having been taught. Then, each subject has 01 – 99 individual course codes at its disposal, with a possibility of shifting each given course between years or semesters. The same code shall never be “re-used” with a different Course Name. If it were to be done, SARIS would not be able to write out correct course names on the transcripts. Coding of Practical Training: The Practical Training periods/courses in all Faculties requiring such training are coded with same numerical codes: Faculty of Education: SBED 12 75 Teaching Practice I SBED 22 76 Teaching Practice II Faculty of Law, Diploma: SDLW 22 75 Field Practical Training Faculty of Law, Certificate: SCLW 12 75 Field Practical Training Faculty of Science: SBEN 12 75 Field Practical Training I SBEN 22 76 Field Practical Training II SBEN 32 77 Field Practical Training III SBMH 1207 Module 2, Practical Training I SBMH 2214 Module 4, Practical Training II SBMH 3221 Module 6, Practical Training III SBMH 4228 Module 8, Practical Training IV

11.2 Teaching Practical Training Apart from the coursework, the BEd SN programme consists of two Teaching Practical Training periods of eight weeks, one at the end of the first year and the other at the end of the second year of studies. During the first Teaching Practical Training, the student will teach their Teaching Subject at a secondary school whereas the second period will be carried out in a special/inclusive/integrated school related to the student’s specialisation.

Outreach Activities It is expected that from the 2nd semester onwards, students in the BEd SN programme will engage in Outreach Programmes in villages surrounding SEKOMU. The Outreach Programme includes documenting information about persons with disabilities. Specifically, students will interact with families that have school age children with disabilities who do not attend school, create awareness on disabilities in communities and mobilise efforts among community members to live and work inclusively. This exercise will be undertaken by the first and second year students. The third year students will, as a part of SEKOMU’s Outreach Programme, concentrate on visiting and counselling families in order to help them to acquire skills needed in coping up with their situation. Outreach activity will carry 5% of the coursework in the course to which it will be attached. For students in Special Education, it will be attached to one of Special Needs Education Course (SBCD 2105, SBHI 2207, SBSI 2206 and SBVI 2209) of the given speciality.

PARTNERSHIPS Since the inception of the University, efforts are being made to maintain harmonious relationships between the administration, the students and the entire community in and around SEKOMU. The University continues to receive visitors from within and outside the country; and at all times the visitors have been happy to be in our midst and learn about our college activities. Communication between SEKOMU and friends from different parts of the world is steadily progressing. It is SEKOMU’s intention to maintain the already existing good relationship and create new beneficial ones. We have also enjoyed good cooperation from partners such as SEPA in the USA, FELM in Finland, SEM and CSM in Sweden and UEM, Church of Westphalia and the Lower Saxony State Chancellery in Germany. In October 2007, we received from SEPA the first and then only full time Assistant Lecturer in Special Needs Education. Since its inauguration, this University has signed MoUs (Agreements of Cooperation) with the following Universities/Agencies: TANZANIA: Mzumbe University (MU) Chama cha Viziwi Tanzania (CHAVITA) Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) Nelson Mandela African Institute of Science and Technology (NM-AIST) GERMANY: University of Bonn University of Giessen University of Applied Sciences in Bochum Protestant University Wuppertal/Bethel Hannover University German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)
