Abstract

This theme is part of the ongoing academic master's research and is divided into four subsections: Colonial education in Mozambique: education and religion towards civilization; Work as an educational ideological tool; Estado Novo and its effects on education in Mozambique: civilizing the indigenous; Educational policy based on the Concordat in Mozambique; The role of philosophy in the Portuguese colonies. The used methodology was based on qualitative research from reading and historical-bibliographic sources, with the main objective of identifying the ideological construction in education in Mozambican lands from the end of the first World War until the New Portuguese State. The first item is based on official documents and bibliographies on Portuguese colonial education in the overseas provinces. The second item deals with institutionalized teaching and the ideology of education through work, even if in a precarious and dominant way. The third phase, it invites us to reflect on the role of philosophy that helped in the educational policy of the Estado Novo de Salazar to train agricultural work for native men in the various professions of knowing how to do and in practical life, through professional education. Finally, the education negotiated in the Concordat in the two governments (Colonial and Holy See) signed in the Colonial Act, which will be configured with a historical, social, political and cultural disaster
