Mozambique's education system is regulated by the Ministry of Education and Human Development (MINEDH), which defines curriculum, school calendar, teacher training, and access policies for public basic, secondary, and higher education.
Each province has provincial structures supervising public schools, enrollment, and local infrastructure.
International and private schools exist mainly in Maputo, Beira, and other cities; often with British, Portuguese, or other international curricula. This guide does not list private schools; contact Mozambique Discovery for personalized guidance.
Technical and vocational education (TVET)
Beyond general secondary education, Mozambique has technical-vocational training regulated by the National Authority for Professional Education (ANEP) under the national qualifications framework. Public, semi-public, and private institutions offer competency-based certificates in fields such as agriculture, industry, and services.
Expatriate families seeking vocational schools with secondary-level training should confirm institutional accreditation with ANEP and curriculum recognition with the Ministry of Education and Human Development (MINEDH) before enrolling.
- ANEP; certification and national catalogue of professional qualifications
- MINEDH; general basic and secondary education, calendar, and access policies
- Request operating license, curriculum, and final exam records (where applicable)
- Technical schools are concentrated mainly in Maputo, Beira, Nampula, and other provincial capitals
Disclaimer
This guide does not individually list international or private schools. The existence of foreign-curriculum schools in Maputo and other cities does not imply Mozambique Discovery endorsement.
Enrollment requirements, fees, and calendars vary. Always confirm information with the Ministry of Education and Human Development (MINEDH), provincial authorities, or contact Mozambique Discovery before financial commitments.
