The rector of the African university, Alberto Ferreira, accompanied by the Murcian Monsignor Francisco Lerma, Bishop of Gurúè (Mozambique), held a meeting this week at the Jerónimos Campus with José Luis Mendoza, president of the Catholic Church of Murcia.
The UCAM and the Catholic University of Mozambique have been collaborating for a long time in different actions and as a result of this last meeting it has been agreed that part of the teaching staff of the Catholic University of Murcia reinforces the teaching activity of the African institution in the area of ​​Nursing and that new degrees are taught as Canon Law and others related to the humanities field.
In this regard the bishop of Gurúè, Monsignor Francisco Lerma, affirms that "in our Catholic University of Mozambique we have a great lack of teachers, there are not enough teachers to attend to all the needs of the University in different faculties".
Lerma, honorary professor
Monsignor Lerma, a native of El Palmar (Murcia), went to Mozambique as a missionary about fifty years ago, becoming a prelate in the African country years later.
In this last visit to the Campus of Los Jerónimos he was appointed honorary professor of Social Anthropology at the Catholic University of Murcia.
The bishop has collaborated for years with the UCAM, in fact, the first book published by the University 'El Pueblo Macua y su Cultura' is his work.
