The establishment of the formal education in Angola (XV-XX Centuries

Abstract

This paper addresses the many moments that provided the
implantation of the formal education model in Angola. Through
literature research and archives, we try to trace the key moments
that characterized this such long process. For this purpose, we
had to trace back, from the date of the Portuguese arrival in that
territory until the end of its governance at the last quarter of the
twentieth century. We try to analyze the different policies and
educational reforms during this period, namely, the missionaries
experience, the Jesuits role, Pombal reform and the various
amendments made since the establishment of the Portuguese
Republic in 1910, the period of the military dictatorship, and
later the Estado Novo education policy.
