The right to
education is at the very heart of UNESCO's mission; an integral part of its constitutional mandate.
Education is a fundamental human right, essential and
indispensable for human development and for the exercise
of
all other human rights.
UNESCO's education programme is geared towards assisting
member states in the attainment
of the six
Education For All
goals.
However, for this biennium (2006-2007)
teacher training, literacy and HIV/AIDS have
been defined the priority areas.
Accordingly the UNESCO Maputo programme focuses on
strengthening the national capacities in education
policy analysis, planning, management, monitoring and
evaluation. |

UNESCO Maputo focuses on
strengthening the capacities for HIV/AIDS
preventive education (EDUCAIDS, teacher training,
socio-cultural approach) as well as strengthening
the capacities for implementation of functional literacy
and non formal education programmes.
Furthermore,
UNESCO Maputo provides technical assistance
in the reform of the local curriculum and the
secondary school curriculum and in the revision of
textbooks so that the socio-cultural needs of the
society are taken into consideration and the quality
of the education ensured.
Following previous years
programmes, capacity building is provided in
the area of decentralized planning in
education; promotion of girls access to
primary school and the inclusion of
education for human rights in the primary
school curriculum.
