NEWS AND NOTES # 8 -4- the world." He expressed his solidarity with Americans fighting against the opression of Vietnamese as well as Mozambican people. He sees as essential the work of CFM, raising the consciousness of the American people about the Mozambican struggle and about the American institutions which oppose it, and providing direct support to FRELIMO; we also discussed specific ways in which we can help. As fighters in the same struggle on different fronts, our meeting with Samora was characterized by a feeling of comradeship and unity.

SO YOU ARE OUR FIGHTERS." &&&&&&&&&&ik&&&&&ic&^&fc&&'ie&&&&'fc'!k'k'k'k'Jc'k^k'k'ic "IN CAPITALISM THE MORE EDUCATION ONE GETS, THE MORE ISOLATED FROM THE PEOPLE HE IS BECAUSE HE IGNORES HIS ORIGINS.

THIS IS HOW WE EDUCATE, WE TEACH OUR STUDENTS TO SERVE THE PEOPLE." Our visit to the FRELIMO Secondary School and Teacher Training Course at Bagamoyo showed us firsthand how FRELIMO's ideology is put into practice in its institutions. As we ate lunch (rice and beans) together, the headmaster, Comrade Mario Sevei, who was a fighter inside Mozambique until he came to Bagamoyo, explained how the program of the school is dictated by the needs of the struggle and of the Mozambican people. Students understand, he explained, that they are not privileged, but are engaged in the work of revolution. Students learn carpentry, agriculture, health education, and political education - all relevant to the work they will do in Mozambique - in addition to their academic subjects. They spend two to three months a year inside Mozambique educating the people about health, helping in cooperative production, transporting educational materials to one of the primary schools FRELIMO has established, or working wherever else they might be needed. Since the need for educated people is so great in Mozambique, courses are short and accelerated; students spend 46 hours a week in the classroom. Just as revolutionary tasks are shared by all the people inside Mozambique, so do the students at Bagamoyo share the work of the school, growing food, doing the cooking, making their uniforms, and helping to build new classrooms. Teachers are writing textbooks as part of their work, making educational content relevant to Mozambican life.
