Introduction:

More than forty years ago, the nations of the world affirmed in the Universal 
Declaration of Human Rights that &ldquo;every person has the right to an education&rdquo;. 
 
However, and despite the efforts of countries all over the world to assure this right of 
education for all, the following realities still exist: 
&nbsp;
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">More than 100 million children, of which at least 60 million are girls, do not have 
access to primary education. 
 
More than 100 million children and innumerable adults could not conclude basic 
education, and millions of others, despite concluding, could not acquire essential 
knowledge and skills.</div>
 
At the same time, the world faces a grim set of problems, among which are: rising 
debts of many countries, the threat of economic stagnation and decline, rapid 
population growth, rising economic differences between nations and within nations, 
war, occupation, civil conflicts, violence, the avoidable death of millions of children 
and the general decline of the environment. These problems override the efforts made 
to meet basic educational needs, whilst a lack of education for significant portions of 
the world&rsquo;s population hinders the society from facing these problems with strength 
and determination. 
 
This is why the Strategic Education Plan is fundamental, especially in developing 
countries. In the case of Mozambique, in order to achieve what the majority of nations 
want at this time, there are three priorities: (1) Increase access to primary education, (2) 
improve the quality of primary teaching, and (3) develop institutional structures. This 
is because the central objective, in the case of Mozambique and many other developing 
countries, is quick progression to universal primary education, putting a lot of effort 
into increasing the enrollment of girls. 
 
With this type of plan, Education Ministries worldwide, developing that which belongs 
to their respective country, intend to show society as a whole what goes on inside and 
outside of a school and carry a great deal of accountability for that. If initiatives do not 
get to the classrooms and benefit the children, you will not be able to reach the level of 
education quality that you want for your country. As such, the participation of all 
society in the process is very important. 
 
The Commitment &#39;&#39;Education For All&#39;&#39; gave impetus to this broad social mobilization. 
In professional education, the central initiative of the Strategic Plan for Basic 
Education is the creation of professional education, science and technology institutes, 
intended to function as centers of excellence in professional training for many different 
areas of the economy and for state school teachers. The institutes are typically installed 
in cities of regional reference, so as to contribute to the development of nearby 
communities and to combat the shortage of teachers. 
 
For all these goals to be met, the participation of society is necessary. This means to 
say that in order to resolve many of the problems that some countries have with 
education, the Strategic Plan for Education cannot only be a government project; it has 
to be a project of everyone in the country. 
 
As such, we challenge you to investigate and research this subject, bearing in mind that 
you are an education professional and no self-respecting professional goes out into the 
&ldquo;field&rdquo; without getting to know their country&rsquo;s Strategic Plan for Basic Education. 
 
&#39;&#39;Education is the key to the new global economy, from primary school on up to life- 
long learning. It is central to development, social progress and human freedom.&#39;&#39;
