The Mozambican government requires about US$4 billion to reduce imbalances in the construction of schools over the coming four years, Science, Technology and Higher Education Minister Jorge Nhambiu said Wednesday. After independence in 1975, Mozambique had very few schools, mainly for secondary and higher education.
Most of these education establishments were concentrated in the capital Maputo and later in the provincial capitals, particularly in Beira Nampula.
However 16 years of a brutal and destructive civil war destroyed most of the schools.
In the reconstruction phase, according to Nhambiu, the number of schools built must correspond to the number of people of each province.
“To reduce the asymmetries, the government needs about $4 billion. This is because, currently, we have almost equal numbers of schools built in each province,” he said.
