Contextualized in educational policies on the privatization of public education, this qualitative article discusses the privatization and commodification of Mozambican higher education as an integral part of a new global political-ideological agreement that validates or legitimizes and compels to certain actions- business and exchange, competition -, nullifying and inhibiting others- equity, social justice, equal distribution of property, valuing relations of private production and its mercantile forms and "utilitarian morality" in the field and educational practice. For the production of this text, we use statistical data from ES (2018) and literature about its expansion and market (Law 1/93; Neves and Pronko, 2008, Souza, 2015; Marx 1994; BM, 1995; Gonçalves , 2015). Thus, it is understood that the model of the current Mozambican ES indicates that the race to the public and private institutions by the students and the consequent search for diplomas - training for the work - and secondarily the search for knowledge, motivated by the expansion of access, as well as the search for courses directed to the market demands, particularly in a post- employment regime. In Additional, the Mozambican ES has become one of the important places of the class struggle for consensus, changing education itself, since markets are one of the bases for the formation of groups pursuing shared interests.
