The Mozambique Spotlight report is intended to provide sharp and evidence-based diagnostics to education leaders and development partners. It is part of a series putting the spotlight on education progress in terms of access, equity, quality, learning and finance in primary and lower secondary education in countries across Africa, as measured by two global indicators: the completion rate and the percentage of children achieving minimum proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics.
The percentage of children of official school age who are enrolled in primary education in Mozambique has improved, and enrolment rates show no major gender disparity. However, there is still a long way to go to include in the education system the estimated 3 million children who are out of school. In addition to social and economic issues families face, which make inclusion of their children difficult, there are challenges regarding education system capacity, with insufficient schools, classrooms and teachers to meet growing demand.
The Spotlight on Mozambique report was written in partnership with the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA) and the GEM Report. It fed into the continental report, Born to Learn, which synthesizes evidence on completion rates and levels of minimum learning proficiency in Africa, informing the debate on national SDG 4 / CESA benchmarks which was released in October 2022. Four other country reports were also released, covering the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Rwanda and Senegal as well as a series of case studies from all African regions.
