According to the Ministry of Education and Human Development (MINEDH) report of April 2019, there are about 15 million people in Mozambique of school age - from pre-primary to university. About 19% of children are under 5 years old, in preschool age. There is still a low perception of mothers, fathers and the community about the importance of EPE, high female illiteracy and insufficient health and citizenship promotion initiatives by the authorities targeting preschool children.
Rural communities in Chibuto District, Mozambique, have little or almost no access to services, knowledge, resources and tools that ensure the development of preschool children's skills. The little public or private investment in Education, in particular in Pre-school Education (EPE), despite the published legislation (law nº18/2018 and decree-law nº79/2019).
The proposal presented by the "Educadores em Movimento" project is in itself a response to increase the educational offer in the area of Pre-School and consequent improvement of the educational and training process of children, contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 - Quality Education.
