The Democratic School and Education

The possibility of democratic schooling and education is taken as a pending issue in the Mozambican context and a current challenge is important to the extent that democracy capitalizes on democratic experiences in the educational process and consequently the school becomes a real vector of democracy. Given that the consolidation of democracy and democratic citizenship inevitably passes through democratic education-training the great challenge for the Mozambican state is to take as a priority and urgency the need to invest in school as an agency for democratic training that is to take it as a factor generating democratic competencies and skills such as dialogue freedom of expression participation tolerance solidarity cooperation respect for differences etc. Likewise it is indispensable to link didactic and pedagogical practice to the implementation of channels of democratization of intra and extra-school relations.
