Bayport Financial Services Mozambique (Mcb), S.A. inaugurated new facilities at Incuai Primary School in Chibuto district, Gaza province, on 6 November, as part of its Bayport in Schools programme. The intervention is intended, according to the company, to strengthen teaching and working conditions for the school community and reflects the institution's commitment to education and the development of the communities in which it operates.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by the administrator of Chibuto District, Cacilda Joaquim Banze, who cut the ribbon alongside Bayport's Commercial and Operations executive, Francisco Orlando.
According to a statement issued by the institution to Diário Económico, the Bayport in Schools programme aims to improve school infrastructure in rural areas, helping to create more dignified conditions for teaching and learning. At Incuai Primary School, the new infrastructure was built from the ground up to replace the previous facilities, which had been constructed from precarious materials.
The intervention provided the school with three fully equipped classrooms, an administrative block comprising a principal's office, a staffroom and a secretariat, as well as four toilet blocks — two for pupils and two for teachers.
According to the company, the new facilities offer a safer learning environment, sheltered from rain and wind, and provide teachers with adequate conditions for lesson planning and instruction. The proper sanitation facilities are also expected to improve school attendance, particularly among girls.
"In highlighting the impact of the new infrastructure on learning conditions, Bayport's Commercial and Operations executive Francisco Orlando underscores the importance that Bayport places on education as a pillar of community and national development," the statement reads.
