Approximately 300 pupils attend the primary school, many of whom come from the surrounding areas in addition to the children from Vila Maninga itself.

Vila Maninga's primary school not only teaches these children but provides an important opportunity for them to mix with other local children who also attend the school.

There are 3 large buildings that are being used for the Primary School at present. The 3 large ones were all built especially for the school.

At the request of the Mozambican government, Vila Maninga has began work on a new primary school building. This block consists of four classrooms. Once complete, the new primary school will comprise of a second building along side this pictured.

Work on clearing an area of land next to the primary school has been completed, providing ample space for
a sports pitch too.

The existing primary school building will be used for adult literacy training, sewing classes and
vocational skills training.
