The lecture was centred on the theme \u201cSelf-esteem: a reflection on the consolidation of national identity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe speaker brought us valuable lessons on the issue of self-esteem and national identity, and I am certain they will inspire and motivate our cadets, students, the academic community and society at large to continuously reflect on the challenges we face in building a stronger and more united country,\u201d said Chachine.<\/p>\n<p>The event included an opening address by the Rector of ACIPOL, Rodrigues Nhiuane Cumbane, and was attended by the Secretary of State for Science and Higher Education, Edson da Grac\u0327a Macuacua, the Commander-General of the Police of the Republic of Mozambique (PRM), Joaquim Sive, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior, Victor Domingos Canhemba Ju\u0301nior, as well as rectors and vice-rectors of public and private universities, political and administrative authorities from Marracuene, members of the ACIPOL academic community, among other guests.<\/p>\n<p>Armando Guebuza served as the President of Mozambique from 2005 to 2015, during which he focused on national development and identity. The Police Sciences Academy (ACIPOL) plays a crucial role in training police officers and fostering a sense of national pride and responsibility among future leaders in law enforcement. The emphasis on self-esteem and national identity reflects ongoing efforts to strengthen Mozambique&#8217;s social fabric and unity in the face of various challenges the country faces today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ap-article-footer-note\">Find more news and analyses on <span class=\"ap-highlight-country\">Mozambique<\/span> on the <span class=\"ap-highlight-brand\">Africa Press<\/span> website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What You Need to Know Former President Armando Guebuza delivered an inaugural lecture at the Police Sciences Academy (ACIPOL) in Maputo, focusing on self-esteem and national identity.
