Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The study aimed to assess the role of stakeholders' knowledge, skills, and experiences in enhancing curriculum reform for employability in Tanzania, using the OECD Framework for Curriculum Reform as its theoretical foundation.A mixed-methods approach with a convergent design was employed, gathering data from 243 respondents.The findings revealed a statistically significant correlation between knowledge and skills (β = 0.619, p = 0.000), experience (β = 0.354, p =0.000), and effective curriculum reform.This indicates that stakeholders' competencies are vital in designing curricula that meet employability demands.Additionally, stakeholders' experience plays a key role in identifying practical strategies for implementing job-oriented education.The study highlights the importance of collaborative efforts in curriculum reform to achieve meaningful and sustainable employability outcomes
