CARVALHO, Luís Miguel; VISEU, Sofia  and  GONCALVES, Catarina. NEW INTERMEDIATE ACTORS IN THE GOVERNANCE OF EDUCATION IN PORTUGAL. Revista da FAEEBA: Educação e Contemporaneidade [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.53, pp.30-42.  Epub July 04, 2019. ISSN 2358-0194.  https://doi.org/10.21879/faeeba2358-0194.2018.v27.n53.p30-42.

This article presents a research on two actors who recently entered the Portuguese educational scene through philanthropy and with the purpose of supporting, producing and disseminating knowledge to improve public policies and inform citizens’ choices. By analysing the products that materialize and operationalize their intervention, we aim to contribute to the discussion about the emergence, expansion and role of this type of actors within the reconfiguration of the governing of education systems and in the frame of an increasing mobilization of knowledge for policy. The study is based on an extensive document analysis and on interviews. It shows how these actors, who act as mediators and experts, act in the public space, as well as the rules that shape their propositions on educational systems and how these should be governed.

Keywords : Intermediary actors; Education governance; Knowledge for policy.
