Menongue - The lack of more libraries in Cuando Cubango is hindering the process of promotion and encouragement of the habit of reading among students, the provincial director of the Office of Culture, Tourism, Youth and Sports, Afonso Rafael Dala, said on Thursday.
Speaking to the press at the end of a visit to the Community Library 23 de Novembro, in allusion to the World Day of Library, he said the lack of these spaces affects the school performance of many students, since reading is fundamental for access to knowledge.
Cuando Cubango has 10 private libraries in Menongue municipality.
Afonso Rafael Dala highlighted the commitment of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Environment in the construction of public libraries throughout the country and the transformation of reading rooms into libraries, advocating, however, the training of specialized technicians to manage it.
