Sports School Patrice Lumumba

The school is educating primary and secondary school children who cannot enroll in conventional schools because of their age or cannot afford to pay for their education, but have the desire to learn.

The school was established in 1989 by ADPP in Mozambique.

The school is using the national education curriculum in Mozambique. The academic program at the school is divided into 2 categories:
1. the second level primary school grades 6 and 7
2. the first level secondary school grade 8 to 10.

The second level primary education students are doing academic lessons from 7:00am to 12:00pm and the extra curriculum activities such as sports and cultural activities twice a week in the afternoon. The first level secondary school students are doing academic lessons in the afternoons from 12:30 to 5:00pm and extra curriculum activities twice a week in the morning.
Sporting is an important aspect at the school and has been accorded time in the school timetable just like any other subject. The children do sports exercises and play games including volleyball, football, basketball, handball, high and long jump. The school participates in zonal competitions and ADPP Olympic games.

The school has a special evening program for students who cannot attend school during daytime but still need to upgrade their education. The evening school program starts at 6:00pm to 11:00pm. These students practice their sports on Saturdays.

The school is a culture center for the students and for the surrounding communities. Cultural activities in theatre, traditional and modern dances are extra curriculum activities. The theatre plays teach and inform people about HIV/AIDS, taking good care of the environment, promoting productivity and the importance of education.

The school has a garden for practical lessons. The students practice what they learn in theory by growing different kinds of vegetables and use the knowledge and skills at home.
