244 THE EDUCATED AFRICAN
17 Chinese, 33 Indians and Pakistanis, 49 Goans, 90 mulattoes, and
36 Africans. In other words, a total of 107 Africans were attending
school at the technical or academic secondary level in Mozambique in
a given year.
In Angola, there are twenty-four high schools, of which three are
state-controlled and twenty-one privately owned. In 1953-54, the total
number of high-school students in the territory was 2,578, of whom
2,023 were Europeans, 462 mulattoes, 91 Africans, and 2 assimilados.
Students enrolled in Angolan technical schools (both commercial and
industrial) in 1953-54 totaled 1,463, including 880 Europeans, 223
mulattoes, and 50 Africans. Thus, at that time, 141 Africans out of
Angola's total African population of 4.5 million were attending
technical or academic secondary schools.

Higher Education
There are no institutions of higher learning for either Africans or
Europeans in Portuguese Africa. Some Europeans and Africans receive
their university training in metropolitan Portugal, however. By 1961,
there were at least three Angolan doctors, two lawyers, two engineers,
and several dentists—all now employed by the government. There are
said to be a few Mozambique Africans with university degrees, one
of them a Ph.D. from an American university. Several university-
educated Angolans are leaders of the rebel group based in Conakry.
Some 300,000 Angolans had filtered across the border to the Congo
by mid-1961, and many of the 60,000 in L^opoldville were receiving
education at various levels there.
Theory vs. Practice
The gap between the Portuguese theory of education in its overseas
territories and its actual practice has been a very wide one. Some 500
years of Portuguese colonial rule in Angola and Mozambique have
resulted, not in the creation of millions of full-fledged black Portuguese citizens, but in the evolution of barely 36,000 assimilados out of
a total population in the two territories of over 10 million. Universal
education, even at the beginning adaptacao level, is still a long way
off. Schooling beyond the fourth grade is reserved for a few hundred
Africans a year. Moreover, the continuing encouragement of large-
scale migration of Portuguese settlers to Angola and Mozambique
raises new questions regarding the ultimate intent of Portuguese
policy.
Despite the oft-repeated official claim that there is no discrimination
wmmmmmmmm^smm.
