MARQUES, Marcelo  and  ALVES, Natália. O Programa Novas Oportunidades numa agenda globalmente estruturada para a educação. Perspectiva [online]. 2013, vol.31, n.02, pp.425-448. ISSN 0102-5473.

This article presents a critical analysis of the creation and implementation of the most emblematic political measure for the field of youth and adults with little schooling in Portugal: New Opportunities Program. Based on Roger Dale´s proposal about the global structured agenda on education. We discussed the fabrication of this measure from a scenario of transnational regulation. Through document analysis of a set of European and national documents produced between the period 2000 and 2010, it was found that the New Opportunities Program is a result of a strengthening of the process of educational policies regulation, carried out by the European Union. This strengthening resulted in the construction of a political program for the field of youth and adult education in Portugal which shares both the same instrumental ideologies spread by the European Union, and a technocratic administration of educational policies, based on the search for results.

Keywords : Political Context; Worldwide Education Policy; Young and Adults Education.
