Mozambique education and literacy initiatives

Overview

Educational development in Mozambique has seen a focus on both literacy promotion and the distribution of physical learning materials. Initial efforts emphasized the need for increased investment in children’s literature to foster creativity and imagination, with private sector support such as book donations from Banco Comercial e de Investimentos to support children in Niassa province.

By mid-2026, the government reported exceeding its targets for the printing and distribution of primary school textbooks, providing over 15.7 million books to approximately 7.4 million students. The distribution was most significant in Zambézia, Nampula, and Tete. Additionally, the government surpassed goals for school desk distribution. However, despite these reported successes, some students, specifically in the 7th grade, have reportedly remained without necessary textbooks.
