NATIONAL CURRICULUM

The Mozambican National Curriculum is a comprehensive framework that guides the education system in Mozambique, a country in Southeastern Africa. It plays a pivotal role in shaping the educational experiences of Mozambican students from primary to tertiary levels. The curriculum is designed to provide a well-rounded education that not only imparts essential academic knowledge but also fosters critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and social development. It places a strong emphasis on subjects like mathematics, science, language arts, and social studies, while also incorporating elements of Mozambican culture, history, and local languages to promote cultural identity and cohesion.

One notable feature of the Mozambican National Curriculum is its adaptability to the country's diverse regions and communities. Given the geographical and cultural diversity within Mozambique, the curriculum strives to be inclusive and flexible, allowing for localized variations while adhering to national standards. Furthermore, it aligns with broader educational goals, such as improving literacy rates, increasing access to quality education, and preparing students for the challenges of the modern world.
