Mozambique: Much ado about reopening – Watch

The Ministry of Science and Technology has released a list of 20 educational institutions that have failed to pass the test for resuming classes.

A document from the Ministry of Education indicates that there is still a lot of work to do before resuming face-to-face classes in higher and technical-professional education. Of the 70 higher and technical-professional education establishments tested, 20 proved unready to resume classes in the context of the coronavirus.

Miramar TV visited the Commercial Institute of Maputo, whose management remembers having received verification teams, but not having received any notification of their having failed to satisfy requirements.

In addition to classrooms, where desks satisfy distancing requirements, we verified, in the company of the director, that all taps, both in the sanitary and general systems, deliver water.

However, the institution says that it has been working to create conditions for resuming classes, and there have been no surprises, with the exception of minimal problems in the sanitary system identified after the contractor’s intervention.

Miramar also visited the Industrial and Commercial Institute of Albasine, where the director said he did not have information about such investigations before offering, off the record, that there were no sanitation problems, much less with physical distancing, as there were many classrooms available.

Most of the approved institutions are private. Of the 20 failing, 15 are public and five private. We visited one of the approved ones, where management said that they met the necessary hygiene conditions even before classes were suspended.

Fifty-one higher education and technical-professional establishments throughout the country still remain to be checked.
