50 YEARS OF "PRODUCING" ILLITERATES

Folha 812 September 2026 at 18:31

Angola's Ministry of Education, under MPLA leadership, is training 259 professionals from all 21 provinces of the country to improve the supervision and monitoring of Literacy and Youth and Adult Education programs. The training is taking place in Luanda and aims to strengthen the implementation of these educational programs throughout the national territory.

The training participants include 163 municipal supervisors, 84 coordinators, nine central structure technicians, and three representatives from the Luanda Provincial Education Office. The training program covers areas such as pedagogical management and monitoring.

This training should support actions in 150 municipalities covered by the Girl Empowerment and Learning for All Project, a program funded by the World Bank. This initiative comes in a context where Angola celebrates 50 years of independence, a period during which the country has faced significant challenges in the education sector.

Why this matters

The article directly affects Angolans involved in literacy and adult education programs, particularly girls covered by the World Bank-funded project. The initiative comes in a context of criticism of the country's educational situation, with the article's own title suggesting that, after 50 years of independence under the MPLA, illiteracy remains a structural problem in Angola.
