Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Errors have been detected in Mozambique textbooks for the second year despite recent assurances by the education ministry that it would not happen again.<\/p>\n

Some errors were reported in Grade Six books last year \u2013 and this year the irregularities have surfaced in textbooks for the fifth and eighth grades.<\/p>\n

A book published by Plura Editora for the Portuguese subject for Grade Eight starts on page 16, with the preceding pages misplaced elsewhere in the book.<\/p>\n

On the first page, the book is printed upside down and a student would have to turn it over to read after opening the cover. Some other pages are also upside down.<\/p>\n

In addition, photos of two same Portuguese subject textbooks for fifth grade with completely different covers have been shared on social media.<\/p>\n

The first has a cover photograph of a girl smiling and dressed in a brown and white pullover, while the second shows a girl in a blue blouse and holding a pencil.<\/p>\n

The errors were noted as schools throughout the country re-opened this Wednesday, with pictures of the errors being shared on social media.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the education ministry, Feliciano Mahalambe, recently gave assurances that the books that were due for distribution this year had been prepared and reviewed by a fully qualified team to avoid past mistakes.<\/p>\n

A Grade Six book was withdrawn from schools last year after the discovery of errors including the erroneously listing of Mozambique as being in the East African region rather than a country in the Southern African region and showed landlocked Zimbabwe as bordering the Red Sea.<\/p>\n
