More than 59,000 secondary school students who missed the first and second exams for various reasons, including the post-election demonstrations, will sit the special final exams between January 20 and 24, 2025..
The promotion of this special exam aims to ensure that no student is disadvantaged in the current academic year. For the time being, Maputo province, specifically Matola and Boane, was the province that registered a high rate of absences in the two calls, which means that it will have a greater number of exam boards for the special exam.
In this sense, according to a NewsThe Ministry of Education and Human Development will soon publish the notice of special exams, which will contain the terms for registering for the process and the lists of students who have not been examined.
Speaking a few days ago, the spokesman for the Ministry of Education and Human Development, Manuel Simbine, admitted that there would be changes to the school calendar, which in principle was due to close on the 20th of this month. "The sector will make an additional effort to quickly correct the exams and release the grades, in order to ensure that students register for 11th grade and universities for the next school year in good time," he said.
The source added that Education may readjust the enrollment calendar, bearing in mind that the 2025 school year is due to start on January 31st. On that occasion, he expressed confidence in the teachers' participation in the special exams process, since they are already receiving their salaries for overtime work, one of the main reasons for the class's discontent over the last two years.
