Luanda
Government acknowledges church's contribution to education process

Luanda – Churches have been contributing significantly in the process of education and participating actively in the reduction of illiteracy in Angola, the acting national director for  general teaching, Alberto Sobrinho, asserted today.

 

Addressing Angop on "The Churches contribution in the Teaching and Education Process", Alberto Sobrinho stated that the church has been the state closest partner in the process, adding that the angolan government has established partnerships with some religious
institutions as the Catholic Church with teaching centers in the 18 angolan provinces.

 

He said that churches provide an invaluable aid to the state in the construction of classrooms and promoting education both in urban and rural areas, while the government takes the responsability for the payment of the teachers wages and providing educational materials and  mentoring and in many cases the churches create their own programs. 

 

Mr Sobrinho stressed that the church teaching and educative actions are extensive to the innermost corners of the country, in order to fulfil its partnership role with the state pointing out  the Catholic, Methodist, Pentecostal and Universal churches.
