April 25 50 Years: Looking into the Past, Thinking about the Future | Educational system and the fulfilment of April: contributions to mitigate socioeducational inequalities | November 24 – ONLINE – 6:00 PM

The second colloquium of the Cycle April 25 50 Years: Looking into the Past, Thinking about the Future will take place on November 24 at 6:00 PM, under the theme Education system and the fulfilment of April: contributions to mitigate socioeducational inequalities.

“April was a dream and continues to be a project for social justice. An educational system that is effective in mitigating socioeconomic inequalities is a fundamental pillar of that project.”

In this Colloquium, OP.Edu invites the following researchers from the Centre for Research and Intervention in Education (CIIE) of the Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences (FPCEUP):

• Gil Nata
• Tiago Neves
• Hélder Ferraz
• Andreia Correia

Based on years of research on socioeducational (in)justice, they will discuss concrete solutions to make the Portuguese education system more fair and equitable. Their discussion will address:

• Grade inflation and access to higher education
• Portuguese compensatory education policy (TEIP)
• Referral to professional education paths
• Impacts of monitoring and accountability instruments on equity

In their words, this will be “giving our (small) contribution to help fulfil April”.

The Colloquium will also include the participation of Teresa Teixeira Lopo (OP.Edu-CeiED) for the Opening, and Rui Gomes (OP.Edu-CES), who will be responsible for the Moderation of the debate.

The event, organized by OP.Edu in collaboration with the Citizen Science Doctoral College – CeiED (CDCC), will be held and broadcast online.
