Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Researcher Jo\u00e3o Feij\u00f3, from the Observat\u00f3rio do Mundo Rural (Rural Observatory \u2013 OMR), says the state of education in Mozambique is \u201cmore serious than terrorism\u201d for the country\u2019s future \u2013 particularly in primary education and in rural areas.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Lusa, Feij\u00f3 commented on the need for investment in the education sector in Cabo Delgado, the northern province rich in gas but affected by an armed insurgency for four years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cart was put before the horse,\u201d says the sociologist and doctor in African studies, alluding to the advance of industrial investments in the Afungi peninsula in Palma district, without any prior commitment to education.<\/p>\n

A situation that is a national problem, Feijo describing the state of education as \u201ca fraud\u201d and \u201ca cancer\u201d, especially primary education.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone sees elementary school children finishing fifth grade without being able to read or write their own names,\u201d he says. Likewise, \u201cEveryone knows\u201d that most teachers \u201cdon\u2019t have the skills to teach\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI work in the bush, and I hire teachers to carry out questionnaires, and the rural teachers in these schools do not know how to calculate areas,\u201d he illustrates.<\/p>\n

There are teachers \u201cwho read by spelling the words out loud\u201d, he adds, to illustrate the difficulties. Good teachers are the exception: \u201cThe majority have serious deficiencies and, the students, the same\u201d.<\/p>\n

He says students from fifth to seventh grade don\u2019t understand Portuguese, and know only local languages.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state of primary education is our biggest collective mistake,\u201d is his conclusion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are creating two classes of citizen, just like in colonial times: the white and the assimilated in the city with access to quality education, and the indigenous people in the bush.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even in today\u2019s urban world, there is a difference between those who go to private and those who go to public schools. Parents of children who attend private schools threaten to send them to public schools, with their general lack of facilities, when they get bad grades, he says.<\/p>\n

In this context, the education situation in Cabo Delgado is even more delicate, taking into account the training needed for the population to get employment in the gas megaprojects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was little investment in education. Until last year there was no training centre In Palma,\u201d \u2013 known as Vila do Gas, given its proximity to the projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first was created just weeks before the attack\u201d a year ago that led to the suspension of TotalEnergies\u2019 gas exploitation and liquefaction project \u2013 the largest private investment in Africa, worth \u20ac20 billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cart was put before the horse\u201d, says Jo\u00e3o Feij\u00f3. \u201cPeople who wanted to train had to go to Pemba,\u201d the provincial capital.<\/p>\n

Feij\u00f3 likewise questions the training plans and the speed of implementation. \u201cTraining is not something to be done intensively, in three or four months or a year. Training is something that requires patience,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal young people realise that the quality of their education does not make them competitive\u201d in relation to \u201cpeople from the south [of the country, in an allusion to the capital, Maputo] or from abroad.\u201d Therefore, \u201cthey feel unprotected\u201d.<\/p>\n
