The education system in Mozambique has suffered through a shortage of junior high schools since the end of the Civil War in 1992. The school has earned a worthy reputation for offering quality education at a low fee. Each year, scholarships are awarded to high achieving students. The school has a library with over 8,800 books, a government sponsored study abroad program, and has increasingly encouraged students to attend college.

So far, around 800 students have entered national universities. Sixteen graduates went on to medical school and became doctors. Eight graduates studied abroad at Malaysia's Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) with funding from the Mozambique government. Two of them are now employed at Baker Hughes, an affiliate of GE in the United States. In addition, five graduates studied abroad at the G. V. Plekhanov Saint Petersburg State Mining Institute and Technical University, Russia's oldest mineral resources university, and the Moscow State Technological University (STANKIN) with funding from the Russian government.

In 2024, thanks to support from USA, the school was able to build a new storehouse, where they can store equipment and supplies more neatly. This year, 92 percent passed the graduation exam for senior high and 76 percent passed the graduation exam for junior high.
