Millions of children out of school in Mozambique

 About 2.4 million of the 12 million school-age children in Mozambique are not in education, the country’s President Felipe Nyusi says.



Girls and children with special needs and those living with disabilities make up the highest numbers of children not in school, he says, adding that his government is hiring more teachers to improve the student-teacher ratio in an effort to make quality education available for all.

Mozambique has had numerous attacks by militants and natural calamities like cyclones that have damaged property. Some 778 schools have been damaged by Tropical Storm Ana in Zambézia, Tete, Manica, Sofala and Nampula provinces.

On Tuesday the president opened a new secondary school in the town of Boane that was named after him and financed by a private company, the Mozal aluminium smelter.
