REPORT 6. 1 September 1965 year, the 50 boys then enrolled at the Mozambique Institute v/ent to the refugee camp at Bagamoyo, where they taught in courses cf primary and literacy education and followed a programme of physical training. During that same holiday, the girls helped v/ith the reorganisation of the library, repaired the linens at both hostels, took sewing and cooking classes and followed an informal programme of independent reading. PRIMARY AND LITERACY PROGRAMMES UP-COUNTRY IN TANZANIA For some time now the Mozambique Institute has been supporting primary and literacy programmes at refugee centres outside of Dar es Salaam. As new centres open, our responsibilities in this programme continue to increase. 1. Bagamoyo The primary and literacy programmes at Bagamoyo Camp, located 45 miles outside of Dar es Salaam, have boon in operation for over a year now. About once every two weeks, a member of the Mozambique Institute tutoring staff has gone out to the camp to advise the tutors there and to deliver supplies and books. At this camp there are 17 students taking a full-time programme in Portuguese at the Terceira and Quarta Classe levels, and at last count there were 280 part-time students participating in a literacy and primary programme, some at the Primeira, Segunda* Terceira and Quarta Classe levels in Portuguese and some pursuing studies in English language. We are proud to report that in July of this year 12 students passed their Quarta Classe examinations and were transferred to the Mozambique Institute in Dar es Salaam, v/here they are enrolled in the middle level tutoring programme. 2. Rutamba "With the beginning of the armed struggle in Mozambique in September 1964, a large number of refugees flooded out of Mozambique and into southern Tanzania. For many months their conditions of health and living were extremely uncertain and difficult. However, the situation has fortunately stabilised itself somewhat now. The refugees, almost 12,000 in number, are established in a camp at Rutamba. It has been agreed by the responsible humanitarian organisations and the Tanzania Government, that the Tanganyika Christian Refugee Service will be -responsible for the administration of Rutamba, including educational programmes. This is, of course, a most welcome plan as far as the Mozambique Institute is concerned, since we have neither the funds nor the staff to undertake an elaborate educational programme of the type that TCRS will be able to provide. However, before the TCRS begins the educational phase of its operation, it must firmly establish its programmes in the areas of housing, health and agriculture. In the meantime there are some 650 primary students who are not involved directly in these other programmes, and who are impatient to begin their studies. Among the refugees at the camp are a number of adults qualified to teach primary courses at the most elementary level, and they have undertaken a programme of classes in Portuguese, The Mozambique Institute has been happy to respond to a request for slates, blackboards and simple school supplies, and will continue to give this kind of support to the camp at Rutamba until TCRS is able to establish a more formal educational programme. 3. Other Areas Although by far the largest group of refugees is located at Rutamba, there are refugee centres also at Songea, Mbeya, Morogoro and Mbamba Bay. The ideal solution to the educational problems
