Mozambique: Government cuts education budget from 14.2% to 12.1% in 2025

The Minister of Education and Culture, Samaria Tovela, said that the reduction in the budget allocated to her department from 14.2% in 2024 to 12.1% in 2025 does not necessarily mean an absolute decrease in the resources allocated to the sector.

According to the minister, by 2029, the teacher-student ratio is expected to fall to 55 students per teacher, with the gradual hiring of more professionals over the five years, as envisaged in the government’s Five-Year Plan. With regard to improving the quality of teaching and developing skills, especially in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), the Education Sector points to the training of teachers and trainers.
