According to the minister, who spoke to the press at the final workshop on curricular harmonization, it is not a matter of curricular uniformity, but harmonizing the courses so that there are no more disparities between the same courses.
The work done, said the minister, is designed to produce a graduate profile for that course that fits the needs of the job market and the curriculum is designed so that the competence that this graduate wants is acquired through that same curriculum. .
"There is an organization of the curriculum that must be done according to the curriculum rules published in Presidential Decree of 2018. Harmonization covers only 70 percent of the volume of the curriculum of the course," said the minister.
For the remaining 30 percent, the minister continued, each organic institution will have the freedom to put what they think is their brand.
"There are courses with different designations but that basically pursue the objective of having the same degree, so it is important to make this alignment", he said.
The minister explained that the work is being done with university professors.
The Angolan Government, through the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, wants to harmonize up to 70% of the curricula of higher education institutions, especially courses in the same area of knowledge, in order to improve the mobility of students and teachers throughout parents.
Higher education has eight public universities, seven public higher institutes and 57 private higher education institutions, including universities and higher polytechnic institutes, where at least 200 thousand students are enrolled.
