Background information and progress Page 10. 10 March 1965 The only approach to this problem seems to be: 1. To survey the refugee population to determine tho approximate number of men, women and children; 2. To ascertain the number of teachers among the refugee population are able and willing to remain at the camps to carry out teaching responsibilities; 3. To start an experimental programme with a number of young children following the primary school syllabus and teaching in Portuguese; and 4. To start an experimental group in adult literacy in Portuguese. The Mozambique Institute feels that it is most important that the refugees follow their instruction in Portuguese, since it is a Portuguese-speaking country to which they will soon return. The conditions at the refugee camps are of the utmost importance to the success of an educational programme. Although the programme will be geared to allow for a great amount of change in the population, still a certain amount of stability must exist in terms of food supplies, housing available and regular attendance as long as the person is living in the refugee area. This is especially important where the teaching of the children is concerned, a regular teaching staff must keep the continuity of the educational programme, while the programme remains flexible enough to allow students to move in and out without destroying the educational system. The type of programme to be set up, therefore, must be organised in conj"unction with the camp authorities in order to insure a certain amount of stability. as far as adult literacy is concerned, it may be that tho system of teaching small cadres of people in the technique of teaching v/ho can spread out through the camps would be best. When an adult reaches a certain level of literacy, then that person can set up another small group and carry out teaching until members of that group can break off and spread out to teach others. The planning of an educational programme for the Lindi-Mtwara camps is still very much in the embryonic stage, depending heavily on the funds available for such a programme. However, every effort will be made to establish the best educational system possible among these refugees, for when they return to their own country, they will be vital links in the setting up of educational programmes in their homeland, where at present educational facilities are almost non-existent. FINaNCI^L SUPPORT The initial grant to start the Mozambique Institute was given by the Ford Foundation. It is with this grant that the present Mozambique Institute building was erected and our programme was operated for the first year.-The Ford Foundation grant has been exhausted, and at present the\World Council of Churches in Geneva are contributing to the\support of the work of the Institute. Scholarships have alsp been given to Mozambican students at the Institute by the United Nations and the Women's Division of the Labour Paxty of the Netherlands. Small contributions from individuals reach us from time to time, appeals have been made to refugee organisations which we hope will give their support to the education of Mozambican refugees.
