1.0 INTRODUCTION
Cost sharing in higher education was introduced in Tanzania through the Higher Education Policy of 1999. The policy requires parents/guardians and other stakeholders to contribute to the cost of higher education by sponsoring students, establishing Higher Education institutions and partnering with the Government in the area of higher education.
