Arnaut Naharipo, coordinator of Mozambique’s National Association of Teachers (ANAPRO) in the Northern Region, is accusing the education authorities of preventing the work that the organization has been carrying out on the grounds that it is illegally involved in political activities.
According to Naharipo, school managers have been preventing ANAPRO from interacting with teachers, especially in schools located in the districts of Nacala-a-Velha, Erati and Angoche, in Nampula province.
Over the past few years, the teachers have been demanding the improvement of the education system, threatening not to work with classes of over 100 pupils, since overcrowding has been harming the quality of education. They have also threatened to boycott the second shift of lessons, if the government does not pay for overtime which they claim is in arrears.
According to ANAPRO, those teachers who are members of the association are being illegally transferred to remote regions, far from their homes, for joining the demonstrations in protest against the non-payment of overtime.
“Despite the opening of the school year, which was attended by the governor of Nampula province and the provincial director of the education sector, where they showed that the doors are open for coordinated work, when we arrive on the ground, the reality shows the opposite”, Naharipo said, cited by the independent newsheet “Carta de Moçambique.”
Naharipo said that ANAPRO would appeal to other bodies to force school managers to stop blocking the association’s activities.
