Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The education service in Mogovolas district, in the northern Mozambican province of Nampula is worried at an increase in the number of children who abandon school and concentrate on activities such as small-scale mining of semi-precious stones and cattle shepherding, according to a report in Thursday\u2019s issue of the Maputo daily \u201cNoticias\u201d.<\/p>\n

The director of the Mogovolas District Education Service, Silverio Canati, pointed out that because of the situation, many schoolchildren missed their final exams at the end of 2021, and he fears the same might happen again in 2022, as the district has several mining areas that attract many poor families, who believe that illegal mining of gemstones is a quick route to riches.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the enrollment season begins, many pupils enrol, but before the end of the year the majority will give up and become small-scale miners and livestock shepherds,\u201d Canati regretted. He also blamed the parents for misleading their children.<\/p>\n

He said that the education service is also promoting awareness campaigns in order to warn the parents who send their children into mining and livestock activities that they are jeopardising their intellectual development and future.<\/p>\n
