Abstract

This research analyzed the impact of the curriculum revision in light of Law No. 26/2022, of December 29, on Technical and Vocational Education, on the socioeconomic lives of graduates from the São Francisco de Assis Technical and Vocational Institute, in the district of Marracuene, province of Maputo, in the period between 2021-2024. The research sought to understand how the revision of the courses affected the socioeconomic lives of graduates from the São Francisco de Assis Technical and Vocational Institute, in the district of Marracuene, province of Maputo, in the interval between the years 2021 and 2024. The objectives of the study were: (i) to identify the changes brought about by Law No. 26/2022, of December 29, to the technical and vocational courses of the São Francisco de Assis Technical and Vocational Institute; (ii) Describe the impacts of the curriculum review of Law No. 26/2022, of December 29, on the socioeconomic life of graduates; (iii) Identify the challenges of the curriculum review introduced by the aforementioned law and (iv) propose actions aimed at improving or enhancing the innovations brought about by Law No. 26/2022 in the socioeconomic development of graduates. The methodological procedures of the research were: regarding nature - applied, regarding approach - qualitative-quantitative, regarding objective - descriptive and explanatory, and regarding technical procedures - case study. For data collection, the research used interview and questionnaire techniques. The research sample consisted of 1 member of the institute's board, 5 trainers, 30 graduates, 6 former graduates and 4 members of the local community. The study concluded that the implementation of Law No. 26/2022 at ITPMSFA introduced relevant curricular changes, although poorly understood by trainees due to weaknesses in institutional communication. The socioeconomic impacts are moderate, mainly due to the reduction of the practical component and the weak alignment of the curriculum with local productive needs. Structural challenges persist, such as the scarcity of resources, the limited training of trainers, and the mismatch between the training offer and the economic context. Even so, the innovations foreseen in the law have the potential to strengthen technical and professional training, provided they are accompanied by strategies that reinforce professional practice and promote greater articulation between the institute, the community, and the local productive sector.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
