Tanzania Commission for Universities succeeded the former Higher
Education Accreditation Council (HEAC) which was established in 1995
under the Education Act 1995 with a legal mandate to regulate the
establishment and subsequent accreditation of private university

public-private partnership in higher education as stipulated in the
National Higher Education Policy of 1999.
