GONCALVES, António Cipriano Parafino. The right for education and high public education expansion policies in Mozambique: stagnation, privatization and exclusion (1986-2008). Avaliação [online]. 2018, vol.23, n.1, pp.37-57. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/S1414-40772018000100004.

The present text is a part of an inquiry centered on the comprehension of the unfolding of the Mozambique state reform process, started in 1984, in the subject of expansive policies for the access to the high public education. Here, our aim is to examine what we consider to be the main tendencies of the expansive policies of the high public education in the country, in a temporal horizon of 20 years (1986-2006). The thesis we sustain is that, in the referred period, can be identified three tendencies of the expansive policies for the access to the high public teaching/education in the country: the expansion stagnation (1986-2006); the private expansion, with the establishment of the called courses of Post-Labor Graduation (2000-2007) and the excluding expansion (2005-2008), considering the courses offered by the new institutions of the high public education created between 2005-2008. From our understanding, these three tendencies are in the opposite direction to the human right for the high public education as it´s referred in the international documentation produced by the United Nations.
