LIMA, Michelle Castro; MOIO, Isabel Sofia Fernandes  and  VIEIRA, Cristina Maria Coimbra. History of youth and adult education in Portugal: young adults over 23 years old in higher education. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.1, pp.71-90.  Epub Mar 30, 2020. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v19n1-2020-7.

The entry and stay of young people in Portuguese universities has been the subject of discussion with the edition of Decree-Law no. 393-B/99, Decree-Law no. 49/2005 and Decree-Law no. 64/2006. From these decrees on, the Portuguese universities started to offer special competitions for the enrollment of students over 25 years old and, in 2005, for those over 23 who have completed only primary education. Given this reality, we seek in this article to investigate the history of access and permanence of young people and adults in Portuguese higher education. To do this, we performed a statistical cross-referencing of the special courses of the University of Coimbra with the bibliography on the subject, analyzing the academic trajectory and the impacts of this course on the training of young people over 23 years old who did not finish high school.

Keywords : Higher Education; Adults; History.
