MEMORANDUM:
To: lir. A.C. Z^/ingira, 2nd April 1968
Chairman,
Commission on the liozambique Institute
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. .
i
From: Dr. Eduardo C. Mondlane,
President of FRELIMO
Subject: Some considerations on the Causes of the Difficulties at
the Mozambique Institute.
Mr* Chairman,
Distinguished Members of the Commission.
I wish to express my personal thanks to you for -inviting me to
appear before this Commission .to give some clarifications which might
help to illumine the issue involved in the very unfortunate
situation in which the. Mozambique Institute is found.
In order to give you a bird's eye view of the issues involved,
I should like to present some basic points relating to the Mozambique-
Institute.
Purpose and Development of the Institute since its Inception
a)From the time the Institute was first established in 1963 until
two years ago the main emphasis of the programme of the school
involved the preparation of our students to i) fill the gap
which exists between the Mozambique colonial primary school
system and the then .Tanganyika or East African primary school
programme, in order to enable our students*to qualify for entering the Kurasini International School for Refugees directed by
the African-American Institute; ii) teach our students enough
English so that they may have a sufficient language base to
follow courses at the secondary school level; and iii) provide
a healthy Mozambican revolutionary environment for our youth
in which to study.
b)However, since the end of the year 1966, the educational
programme of the Mozambique Institute began to take a new turn.
At the October session of the Central Committee of that year,
after considering that the Institute was fundamentally a center
of education from which there ought to come young Mozambican
militants with an adequate intellectual qualification which will
enable them to be directly given the responsibilities of
carrying specific tasks of the REVOLUTION or qur.mfy them for
specific training periods abroad or to pursue medium or higher
studies within the general perspective of FRELIMO, it was urged
