MPLA VICE PRESIDENT WANTS BET ON EDUCATION

Luanda – The Vice President of the ruling MPLA, Luísa Damião, pointed out this Thursday the need to intensify the mobilisation for education and capacity building of women, according to the party’s ideals, principles and guidelines.

Luisa Damião, who was speaking at the opening of the first extraordinary meeting of the OMA National Committee, said that this mobilisation should lead to an increase in the number of young women in the general and higher education subsystem, without losing sight of rural women.

“We must help each other, investing in education, technical and technological training, following the changes of this century, moralizing the society that, nowadays, the role of women should not be limited to domestic tasks,” she said.

In another area, the ruling party official reminded the women that a historical and extraordinary moment is ahead for Angolan women, with the holding of the organic process of the MPLA’s VIII Ordinary Congress which, besides the reaffirmation of the leadership of President João Lourenço, will mark a turning point in the insertion and place of women in the party’s organs at 50 percent.
