Scenarios for the school of the future - the contribution of Portuguese education policies from 1995 to 2001
Scenarios for the school of the future - the contribution of Portuguese education policies from 1995 to 2001
This personal project analyses the studies carried out by the OECD, within the framework of CERI (Centre pour la Recherche et l'Innovation en Education) regarding "Schooling for tomorrow". During the holding of numerous seminars given by experts on several domains of educational, social, cultural, economic and political life of OECD countries, several scenarios were put forward. Based on that work, as well as the education realities and policies in force in those countries, the OECD systematised three groups of scenarios (with variations) and, subsequently, presented several dimensions of those scenarios in more detail. Portugal participated in this project and I was a member of the CERI between 1996 and 2002. As head of the pre-school education policies, as well as the basic and secondary levels (and related areas such as school sports, curricular organisation and subjects, special education, etc) in the 12th and 13th Constitutional Governments (1995-2001), I intend to analyse the way in which these policies are associated with the "School of the future" scenarios. In order to achive a more in-depth analysis, I will conduct a case study on schools in the fight against poverty in Sao Tome and Principe.
