President Daniel Chapo has challenged Eduardo Mondlane University to align its educational output with the practical needs of the nation and the modern labor market. Addressing a graduation ceremony, he stated that a university degree no longer automatically secures employment. He emphasized that higher education must produce job creators rather than just job seekers, calling this a key strategic challenge for the country's future economic independence.
He described the institution as a vital instrument of national emancipation and a cornerstone for developing critical thought. The President noted the university is transforming into a research-focused institution dedicated to science and innovation.
Speaking to the new graduates, Chapo declared their diplomas signified the start of a new responsibility. He urged them to serve Mozambique with competence, integrity, and patriotism. The ceremony celebrated 1,789 graduating cadres this year, fifty-six percent of whom were women.
