schools,."they do not have to pay taxes to the Portuguese,, they
are free from the,police, from the administrators, and from the
exploiters.
We won DIGNITY
Our people, even In the regions still controlled by the Portuguese, no more look, at the colonialists with submission, as
wbosses", i:patroes,?.  Our decision to fight,' v/ith guns in our hands, restored our dignity in the national and international scheme. We are no longer slaves, whom the colonialists can enchain,
beat and kill impunity. The Mozambican people are figting, and
they know that those .Portuguese who today oppress'cuo^- will be soon liquidated or sent back to their country.
V/e  won  EDUCATION

Mozambican students who joined the Revolution, have finished their
secondary and university courses. Thousands, of young Mozambicans
study in our country, in the areas controlled by PRELIMO. In 4 years, the results achieved by PRELIMO in the field of Education are
already much superior than those produced by the Portuguese colonialists during 4 centuries.
We won ECONOMIC PROGRESS
In the area under our control, the number of fields being
cultivated by the people are increasing. There are now many more
cultivated fields than those which existed in the period of Portuguese domination. The people know that they are producing for themselves, and not for a Portuguese colonialist ""Boss*7.
