National service is a system of either compulsory or voluntary government service, usually military service. Many young people spent one or more years in such programmes.
Compulsory military service typically requires all male citizens to enroll for one or two years, usually at age 18 (later for university-level students), while voluntary national service requires only three months of basic military training.
National Service was established on 10th July 1963 emanating from the ideas of the Father of the Nation, the late President Julius K Nyerere who once said ” National Service is the demand made by the Nation on youth and youth response in fulfilling their duty in building the Nation”.
The Army for Nation Building (JKT), has selected young people who graduated from secondary education form six in the year 2021, from all schools in mainland Tanzania to attend JKT training in accordance with the law.
In line with the call, JKT has arranged for the camps to be trained and they are required to report to the camps from 01 to 10 June 2021.
