Mozambique is a portuguese speaking country whose neighbours speak English, hence its backward in the teaching of English. Its geographical position spells it all that the country cannot run away from the need for English. While the government has put it straight that English is one of the major subjects required for one to obtain a Grade 12 certificate there seem to be no incentives to make students fall in love with this foreign language. In my pertition I appeal to all concerned to provide the necessary help to see the country prosper.
