The Rector of the College of Business Education (CBE), Prof. Edda Tandi Lwoga, addressed journalists on March 2, 2026, at the college in Dar es Salaam, outlining the significant strides the institution has made in the areas of academics, infrastructure, research, and consultancy. Prof. Lwoga expressed her sincere gratitude to the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, H.E.

While speaking to journalists, she also noted that in order to reach more qualified applicants for Master’s degree programs, CBE has improved its curricula and now offers Master’s programs through an online mode of delivery (online master’s programs).
