2018 - 2020
The education systems of the cities of Maputo and Pemba show significant difficulties in terms of illiteracy: 29.9% in Pemba and 14% in Maputo, and school dropouts: 31% in Pemba and 9% in Maputo.
The overload of child domestic work, the insufficient number of teachers and their poor training meet the low recognition of the role of the school and the lack of family involvement. The educational situation is particularly dramatic for girls and young women. These are among the conditions that lead to a high drop-out rate in primary schools with 31% in Pemba and 9% in Maputo.

The Particidade project promotes a shared idea of education as a right, a common good, and a community responsibility.
Fondazione Reggio Children supports the cities of Maputo and Pemba in increasing social inclusion, participation and quality of primary school education (age group 5-11) through the professional development of teachers and educators, the elaboration of educational paths and proposals inside and outside the school by setting up an agreement between municipalities, schools, and areas.
