History
The CED has been
initiated in 2003, as a result of the start of the first
distance education project of the UCM. The main office of
the centre was located at the Faculty of Medicine, and only
one person was running the centre. In 2004 the centre got a
dependence in Pemba, five persons work for the centre.

| Mission
The main goal for the centre is to support faculties within the UCM, and
other institutions in the country with distance education in
Mozambique. Distance education will create new opportunities
for the people of Mozambique. It will give them a chance to
study in the place where they live and work, with more
flexibility in time and place.

| Method of Teaching:
Distance
learning
The method of teaching
is often a blend of face-to-face teaching and distance
education. The students can have lessons in their holidays,
whereas the main part of the study is self-study, either at
house or at work. An organised system of distributing
materials and collecting students’ work has been set up: a
4-wheel drive car visits the study centres in the rural
areas almost every week.

| Courses
In October 2004, the CED had two courses running. Both
are focused on general secondary education teachers, with
several specialisations. In 4 years they will complete the
course at the level of a Bachelor in Education. A course of
this type will finish in the province of Niassa in December
2004 and will be followed with a new one. In Niassa, the
UCM/CED collaborates with ESAM. The other course is in the
province of Sofala, here with contribution of ESMABAMA. For
Cabo Delgado province a new course for administrators
working within the department of education will start in
February. New courses in cooperation with our faculties will
follow in time.
In October 2004 over 300 students were studying through
the CED.
