The Covid-19 pandemic has profoundly changed public life, posing major challenges in the education sector, fostering new teaching methodologies linked mainly through international organizations, in the case of UNESCO. In order to contain the rapid spread of the coronavirus, Mozambique declared a State of Emergency at the national level. Among the measures announced by the Head of State, there is the suspension of classes in all public and private establishments, from Pre-school to Higher Education. Therefore, this article aims to address the challenges that education faces as well as the possibilities of its reinvention in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. Methodologically, bibliographic research was privileged using historical-dialectical materialism. The results impose large investments, above all, in infrastructures, formation of teaching capital at various levels of education, and appropriation of ICT knowledge. For this, the need for an Educational Pact between the different social strata and the State is pointed out as an alternative to mitigate and overcome the crisis in the educational system.

Keywords : Education; Covid-19 Pandemic; Educational Pact.
