Over 80 % of students in Angola are already integrated in the education reform, which started in 2004 with the goal of making the schooling system more efficient and correspond to the country's development aspirations, Deputy Minister of Education Pinda Simγo said.
Speaking to ANGOP, on the sidelines of a meeting he had with the catholic francophone community of Luanda, the deputy minister explained that by 2009 the Education Ministry will cover the whole of the primary and secondary education.
"I think that with this coverage, by 2011 the old (education) system will be no more", he stressed.
As regards the infrastructures for secondary education schooling, Simγo explained that besides the actions being taken by the provincial governments, the Education Ministry is building 53 schools in the whole country, in the ambit of the cooperation with China, 35 of which are technical/professional ones.
He revealed that due to demand in the provinces of Luanda, Benguela, Huνla and Huambo, his department has made a significant increase in the number of technical secondary schools.
