Currículo, memória e fragilidades: contributos para (re)pensar a educação na Guiné-Bissau@@@Curriculum, memory and fragility: contributions to (re)think education in Guinea-Bissau@@@Curriculum, mémoire et fragilité : contributions pour (re)penser l'éducation en Guinée-Bissau

Curriculum, memory and fragility: contributions to (re)think education in Guinea-Bissau This paper explores issues of memory in the construction of the curriculum in GuineaBissau. Moving from the macro (political) level of curriculum decisions, the article seeks to unravel the role of memory in the process of curriculum construction. I argue that the peripheral and external dependency of Guinea-Bissau constitutes the major factor underlying the difficulty of constructing the curriculum in an independent and autonomous manner. In fact, in most cases, the construction of the curriculum is an external process based on traveling reforms. The analysis also highlights that memory has been used more to legitimize a particular educational decision than to strengthen and/or to consolidate educational identity(ies) in Guinea-Bissau.
