When many, “nearly half” of elementary schools do not teach full cycle – Mozambique

Nearly half the primary schools in the country do not cover the full primary cycle, resulting in many children stopping their studies before completing the seventh grade, the last level of basic education, National Director of Education Development Ismael Nheze told Notícias after the presentation of a proposal to revise Law No. 6/92 of the National Education System, already lodged with parliament.

Nheze said the proposal would allow all primary schools to teach the full cycle, to the benefit of children, as compulsory schooling moves from the current seven to nine grades.

This presentation is part of the First National Forum of Education organised by the Pedagogical University (UP), through the Centre for Educational Policy Studies (CEPE), under the motto “For a participatory social education”.

The objective of the event was to promote knowledge and debate on education issues, to analyse the current state of national education and to establish contributory platforms for the development of education.

The forum takes place as the CEPE celebrates ten years of existence and assumes the need to build a new corporate education project.
