The Portugal coalition to Front and the Socialist Party are in agreement regarding the need to take the next parliamentary term to make some changes in education, especially with regard to ICT.
Both programs refer intend to introduce software development in the curriculum of schools for compulsory education. The idea is not new and has been suggested insistently by several experts, even as a way of promoting interest in engineering areas.
Even the Ministry of Education has supported and promoted pilots in this area as the initiative Initiation to Programming in the 1st cycle of basic education a voluntary program that debuts this school year.
In the area of ICT PAF coalition also notes the intention of encouraging the use of digital educational solutions since the early years of each cycle and the progressive replacement of paper manuals for digital content.
The PS is less incisive in the way it addresses the issue of digital content, but also signals the intention to field a “educational digital resources strategy,” to promote the use of digital content and argues that this strategy should be defined in coordination with communities of practice, involving writers, producers, teachers, students and parents.
The party led by António Costa openly supports the intention to review the discipline ICT and also wants to promote the use of ICT in schools “since early”.
The dematerialisation of more educational services also has space on campaign promises. It is one of the points made in the PSD / CDS coalition program, turn to government, wants to eliminate paper in the issuance of diplomas and digital educational certificates and create an integrated system of student management, which will fit the electronic registration and the individual record of the student.
