DOMINGOS, Alberto Bive. Education and democratic organizations in Mozambique: experiences of the popular revolution. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.1, pp.227-251. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/PraxEduc.v.10i1.0010.

This paper discusses, in general terms, the emergence of the Mozambican education system, a phenomenon occurred shortly after the national independence from Portuguese colonialism, a process that opposed the colonial dependence and school elitism, causes of the country's underdevelopment and educational practices to Mozambicans. This sedimented a Mozambican education based on public involvement in the education system by democratic experience, understood as democratization of access, knowledge and relationships in decision making in relation to school. In terms of methodology, we used qualitative approaches such as naturalistic study case associated with various research techniques, such as: document analysis of the legislation on the education system and interviews with some school principals. This fact led us to recognize that, from 1983, this traditional practice of active participation in the education system, which was practiced by the popular local initiatives designed also for self-management, was diluted with the state regulation in the creation of the education policy by Law 4/83.
