Now that the Mozambique Institute has truly begun to function
as a hostel &xx(L  teaching institution, I would like to inform the
Officers of the Association of its programmes both within and
outside Dar es Salaam.  It is also important for the Officers to
understand the relationship of the Mozambique Institute to other
educational organisations and its successes, its problems and
its hopes for the future.
The Mozambique Institute is a duly registered society under
Tanzanian law with Registered Trustees under the supervision
of the Registrar of Societies of the Tanzanian Government.  It
is not registered as a school for it was decided earlier, in
cooperation with the education officials of Dar es Salaam, that
it did not perform the functions of a proper school.  The Mozambique Institute has a Constitution with By-l£W3, which were
drawn up under the supervision of the Mozambique Institute's
lawyer, Mr. Grimble.  The Officers of the Association of the
Mozambique Institute are:  The Honourable Mr. Eliufoo, Minister
of Education;  The Honourable Mr. Swai, Minister of State for
Planning;  Dr. Chagula, Principle of the University College, Dar
es Salaam; Mir. Karimjee, Chairman of the Board of the University
College, Dar es Salaam;  Miss Junod, Professor of Social Work at
Makerere University;  Mr. Eldridge, Director of the African-
American Institute, Dar es Salaam;  and Mrs. Mondlane, Director
of the Mozambique Institute.* The Registered Trustees are
Mr. Swai, Dr. Chagula and Mrs. Mondlane.  There is a Seal of
the Mozambique Institute.
The purpose of the Mozambique Institute is to help in every way
possible young Mozambicans, who are refugees from their homeland,
to achieve as rapidly as possible the highest level of education
they can attain.
THE MOZAMBIQUE INSTITUTE:  GENERAL ORGANISATION OF THE HOSTEL IN
DAR ES SALAAM
The Mozambique Institute first began to function primarily in the
areas of secondary and university education for Mozambicans.  However, during the past eighteen months, it has become increasingly
apparent that an entry into the field of primary education is an
unavoidable necessity.  Still, in Dar es Salaam, the emphasis
remains on the secondary level.
Today, there are fifty-two students and four teachers living at
the Institute.  (There are also six girls who are living outside
the hostel but v/ho attend Institute classes.) All of the students
participate in at least one of the educational programmes of the
Institute.  Since the students when they enter the Institute are
at different academic levels, it has been necessary to divide the
