Education policy in Angola and the guarantee of the right to education: articulation between the context of influence and text production

The present study set out to analyze the education policies that regulate initiatives that are located in the context of practice, as it also focuses on the education policies resulting from the main guidelines coming from international organizations and how these are compatible with the real local demands. Based on a qualitative approach, methodologically, the research is based on the Policy Cycle Approach, a proposition initially formulated by Bowe, Ball and Gold (1992) and reformulated by Ball (1994), which allowed analyzing documents and interventions in the context of influence and the context of text production. From the analysis carried out, the results indicate that guaranteeing the right to education continues to be, despite the progress made, a challenge for the Education and Teaching System in Angola. On the other hand, the context of influence highlights the leading role that international organizations play within Angolan education policy which, during its course, demonstrated resentment of the impacts resulting from the colonial education model.
