The ceremony was presided over by the Secretary of State for the City of Maputo, Vicente Joaquim, who emphasized in his speech the importance of human capital for the country’s progress. “We believe that the economic growth we all desire can be accelerated with trained people. We are betting on these recent graduates, who, with the skills they have acquired, will directly benefit the communities. The training we want must be of high technical and scientific quality, and the graduates must demonstrate responsibility, dedication, care and respect for the community, in order to improve the quality of service to society”.

The graduates, in turn, reaffirmed their commitment to serve their country and expressed their deep gratitude to ISCAM, particularly to the teaching staff, as well as to their parents and guardians. “We want our contribution to be of capital importance in the lives of all citizens, because, after all, we are a proud Mozambican product,” they said, leaving a message of hope and the promise to use their talent and determination to build a promising future.
