As of 2024, in the province of Sofala, Dondo district, the largest general secondary school in the country since national independence will be built, according to the newspaper O Pais.

It is a decent, modern and resilient infrastructure to severe weather events and will be able to accommodate about 10,000 students from that district.

The infrastructure, which is valued at 814 million, and whose groundbreaking took place on Thursday (16), is the result of government funding in partnership with the Tzu Chi Charity Foundation.

According to the source, the new Mafambisse High School will have 58 classrooms, compared to 10 in the current one.

The classrooms will be divided into floors, with 18 classrooms in the first, 20 in the second, and another 20 in the third, which will raise its capacity to about 10 thousand students in three shifts, including the night shift, against the current six thousand students.

Among other infrastructures, the school will also have 18 bathrooms, five teachers' rooms, three computer rooms, two for students and one for teachers, three laboratories for Physics, Chemistry and Biology, an infirmary, and a multipurpose playing field.

"It is not to be doubted, because from the moment we have better working conditions, we have to improve our performance in order to achieve our objectives, in this case, to train, with quality, the new man," said Baltazar Zunguze, director of the school in statements to the newspaper O País.

Mafambisse High School was designed to have a resilient structure, able to withstand extreme events resulting from the harmful effects of climate change, as well as for the expansion of the school network.

"Currently, 117 classes in Sofala province function outdoors. With the entry into operation of the Mafambisse General Secondary School, the impact will be the reduction of 116 classes that functioned outdoors," said Carmelita Namashulua, Minister of Education and Human Development.

For his part, the Minister of Public Works, Housing and Water Resources, said that the school represents an asset, not only in Sofala, but for neighboring provinces.

"It is a work that will be an emblematic symbol for secondary education in the country due to its infrastructural dimension," said Carlos Mesquita.
