A Tale of Two Sectors
Government and private schools in Mozambique face different pressures, timelines, and resources. Technology adoption reflects these realities.
Private School Patterns
- Faster decision-making allows quicker implementation
- Budget flexibility enables comprehensive solutions
- Competitive pressure drives adoption
- Parents expect modern systems
Government School Realities
- Larger scale requires more planning
- Budget cycles dictate timing
- Stakeholder consensus takes longer
- Sustainability and total cost dominate decisions
The Convergence
Despite different paths, outcomes align:
- Both sectors achieve operational efficiency
- Student outcomes improve when data informs teaching
- Parent satisfaction increases with better communication
- Administrative burden decreases for all staff
The pace differs, but the destination remains the same: better education through better systems.
