              ICT Connectivity for Higher Education 
              and TVET Systems
  All 53 HE Institutions are connected to Internet. The Government Research 
  Network (MoRENet) connects 78 HE Campus, 39 RI and 26 TVET. However  it 
  does  not  cover  all  existing  institutions;  there  is  the  need  to  improve  the 
  bandwidth (international link, backbone that connect the 6 PoPs distributed in 
  the country and of the access link/last mile);
  MoRENet offer several services to academic community such as EduRoam, 
  filesender,  High  Performance  Computing,  Digital  Library  (Astria  Digital 
  Library),  YouTube  and  other.  However,  there  are  need  to  implement  more 
  services  that  will  contribute  to  the  student  centered  learning  approach, 
  improved research quality;
  Mozambique has established that until 2020 all 202 TVET Institutions must be 
  connected internet for  purposes of accreditation, registration of Professional 
  Qualifications; Certification of Trainers and trainees. However, still a need to 
  ensure  internet  access  to  all  those  TVET  institutions,  including 
  infrastructures.

       bandwidth  of  international  link,  national  backbone  and  last  mile  link; 
       implement more service related to knowledge access and sharing;
