As baixas qualificações, a massificação e a educação integral na educação. Reflexão de uma perspetiva sistémica 50 anos depois da revolução

The Portuguese population has a historical qualifications deficit. This fact forced the process of mass teaching, which began at the time of the April 25th revolution, to be conducted without there being enough qualified teachers. This led to the creation of a school system based on a prescribed, determined curriculum, with no space for teachers’ professional autonomy. 50 years after the revolution, we are amid a curricular paradigm shift, with policies of autonomy and flexibility that pave the way for a true integral education.
