The article evaluates the current language policy adopted by the Mozambican government as stated in the Constitution of the Republic of Mozambique and in the article 4 of decree 6/92 on the National Education System. We are of the opinion that coming up with the most suitable language policy is a key element in national building and particularly in the individual citizens' welfare. Thus, we argue that the analysis of the current language policy is of paramount importance. The study shades light to the government officials, the Ministry of Education officials, teachers, students and all education stakeholders at large in the implication of the current Education language policy for Mozambique.
