Mozambique’s net primary school enrollment rate is 99%, but less than half of students complete primary education. Education system challenges include management inefficiencies, protracted conflicts in the north, recurrent natural disasters, and rising socio-economic vulnerabilities.
The government is working with GPE and other partners to improve the service delivery and quality of basic education.
Mozambique’s Partnership Compact commits to transform delivery of education by removing procedural and institutional barriers which have negatively impacted policy implementation and resulted in poor retention and learning.
To unlock large-scale and sustainable change, interventions are planned across five outcome areas: improved teaching; improved gender equity; improved management of education systems (at national and school levels); improved school environment; and improved learning outcomes.
By strengthening service delivery, Mozambique aims to strengthen learning in the first cycle of primary education and ensure student retention until grade 9.
