Em tempos de globalização, em que os sistemas educativos tendem para a uniformidade ao nível da decisão política, faz‑se a análise comparativada organização curricular dos sistemas inglês e português, com a identificaçãode diferenças significativas – na progressão dos alunos, na oferta curricular, nos procedimentos de acesso ao ensino superior e na tipologia de escolas –apesar das similaridades existentes. A partir de uma abordagem comparativa de documentos estruturantes dos dois sistemas, conclui‑se que a centralização curricular é o denominador comum dos dois sistemas, se bem que no caso português se observe um controlo curricular mais explícito e complexo,deixando‑se em aberto algumas propostas de inovação curricular.
This paper analyses human security in Portugal, and how it interact with inequality. We use representative survey data to discuss the individual determinants of several dimensions of human security that go beyond the narrow conception of the absence of physical threats, into a multidimensional perspective, encompassing environmental security, and living conditions. Albeit Portugal is one of the safest countries in the world, we document that women, low income groups, the elderly and younger people often feel less safe. We show, however, that in a broader perspective, Portugal fares less well, as income, food, housing and health security are, in many cases, higher in the country than in many other European Union countries
