REPORT 2. 1 September 1965
1. Secondary Programme
The Mozambique Institute has 46 secondary and pre-secondary
students enrolled at the English-speaking Kurasini International
Education Centre (KIEC), which is run by the African-American Institute.  Of these students, 2 are in Form III, 7 are in Form II,
19 are in Form I, 11 are in Standard VIII and 7 are in Standard VII.
These students live at the Mozambique Institute hostels and attend
classes every morning at the KIEC.  We are very pleased with the
progress the students are making and the steady improvement in
their English ability.  In the afternoon, Mrs. Gretchen Hawley
volunteers as a tutor, and all students who are having difficulty
in their courses at the KIEC are required to attend her tutoring
sessions.  This opportunity for daily tutoring has been enormously
helpful to the students, and has brought about a marked improvement in the quality of their school work.
Recently seven more Mozambique Institute students have been
awarded scholarships by the United Nations Department of Trusteeship and Non-Self-Governing Territories.  This brings to a total
of 13 the number of Mozambican students supported at the Mozambique
Institute and the Kurasini International Education Centre by this
organisation.
2. Middle Level Programme
Until recently, any student entering the Mozambique Institute
had to be eligible also to enroll at the KIEC.  However, because
of the low standard of education available to Africans in Mozambique,
a large number of hopeful candidates were unable to fulfill the
KIEC requirements.  Also, we found that when our Portuguese-speaking
students were required not only to fit themselves into a very
exacting pre-secondary programme at the KIEC, but were also required to take their classes in a new language (English), their
academic progress was seriously impeded.  In order to solve these
problems, it was decided not to enroll any further Mozambique Institute students at the KIEC until they were fully qualified to
enter Form I.  Therefore, the Mozambique Institute has established
a programme of tutoring in Portuguese in all subjects necessary for
the students to bridge the gap between the Portuguese system prevalent in Mozambique and the qualifications necessary for admission
to Form I at the KIEC.  This programme is carried on every morning
at the Mozambique Institute by seven young Mozambican tutors.  In
the afternoon, these same students attend a special class at the
KIEC in which they study English
At the present time there are 38 students enrolled in this
middle level tutoring programme. However, within the next week
or so a number of students will withdraw from this programme in
order to enter the newly established nurses aide programme.
3. Students Supported in Other Schools
The Mozambique Institute has assumed the responsibility of
supporting students who had already started their education in
English-speaking schools in Dar es Salaam before the Institute was
established.  At the present time there are seven students supported
in this fashion.  Six are in primary school and one is attending
middle school.  The Institute pays the fees and provides the uniforms
of three of the primary students.  The other three primary students,
who are the children of our housemother, and the middle school
student are fully supported and live at the Girl's Hostel.  Additional students in schools outside of Dar es Salaam may possibly
be added to this programme soon.
