Abstract(s)
Starting from the analysis of a Manifest placed in the World Wide Web in order to
gather signatures, the paper discusses the arousal of a wide spread movement of
scepticism in the so called Portuguese “civil socie ty” against the overall result of almost forty years of uninterrupted educational reform that has taken place in Portugal since the
late sixties and has lead to an increasing percentage of illiteracy and innumeracy. That
Manifest is presented as part of a broader movement, deeply rooted in the Portuguese
society, and silent so far, which is becoming stronger and has now strength enough to be part of the political agenda.
It is also our concern to unveil an emerging trend of blaming sciences of education and
badly trained teachers as responsible for the poor outcome of our schooling system.
