Escola Portuguesa de Moçambique - Centro de Ensino e Língua Portuguesa (EPM-CELP) is a Portuguese international school in Maputo, Mozambique.[1] The school is operated by the Portuguese Ministry of Education and serves from Pre-school up to Grade 12.[2] [3]
It opened for the 1999–2000 school year,[4] and was created from the Decree-Law No. 241/99 of 25 June promoting Cooperation between the Portuguese Republic and the Republic of Mozambique. This was modified by Decree-Law n.º 47/2009 of 23 February.[5]
The school's symbol is of a tree within green and red portico. The tree roots represent the school's educational philosophy and are a reference to some verses from works of Luís de Camões.[4]
In the future, the EPM will be the regulatory academy for the Mozambican dialects of the Portuguese language.
