Mozambique has a universal primary education system that is free and compulsory for children aged 7-13. Education is provided in Portuguese, the official language of Mozambique. The primary education cycle consists of seven grades with an average duration of six years. Secondary education is also free and consists of four cycles, with the final offering a choice between technical-professional or academic options. The literacy rate in Mozambique is 52%, one of the lowest in the world. In order to improve access to quality education, the Mozambican government has implemented several initiatives such as providing textbooks, training teachers and constructing new schools in rural areas. Additionally, there are several programs specifically targeting girls and young women to promote gender equality in education. Despite these efforts, educational attainment remains low due to poverty and lack of resources. In recent years, however, there have been some positive developments such as increased enrollment rates and improved educational outcomes for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
