Education Financing in Mozambique and its Challenges

ABSTRACT

This article aims to analyze the funding of education in Mozambique at a time when the sector is facing problems of scarcity of funds for the financing and implementation of its policies. As methodology, we conducted a bibliographic research on the subject and analyzed the documents of the education sector – Citizen Account and State General Accounts – from 2015 to 2020. The findings of this research show us that, although government direct funding to the education sector, through an internal source, is growing, this growth is still below the needs of the sector. The funding of education in Mozambique is still largely dependent on external donors’ support.
