ABSTRACT: Educational Charters (EC) appear with the publication of Decree-Law 7/2003, which regulates and also creates Municipal Councils of Education (MCE). In 2004 a Protocol between the Ministry of Education and the National Association of Portuguese Municipalities was signed and results from Decree-Law 7/2003 as “a fundamental step towards the realization of administrative decentralization in education” constituting itself as a capital normative for the “implementation of decentralization and territorialization of educational policies which has two key instruments: the Municipal Council of Education and Educational Charters. Taking into account the analysis of legal documents and action researches, it is clear that the process of drafting, developing and monitoring Educational Charters is still controlled by the central government, contrary to legal-political discourse that sees this document as a strategic instrument towards the progress of decentralization and territorialization of educational policies.

Keywords : Educational Charters; Municipal Councils; Decentralization.
