EXPANDING WITHOUT DEMOCRATISATION: FROM PRIVATE/MARKET EXPANSION OF EDUCATION TO THE MYTH OF DEMOCRATISATION OF ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION IN MOZAMBIQUE.

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the model of expansion of higher education in Mozambique over the last ten years (2004-2014). We look at the same, demonstrating what has been achieved in the country since the last decade, a model of expansion of higher education marked by the growing dominance of private/market interests, which challenge state regulation of a public nature and raise the question of the myth that, the growth and expansion of higher education in Mozambique is a sign of democratisation of access to higher education for all Mozambican people, regardless of their social and economic extract. To reflect on the statistics on higher education in Mozambique (as regards the number of higher education institutions, public and private and the number of enrolled in each of them), we will use analytical categories such as expansion and democratisation brought by Alfredo de Sousa (1996), education/commodity and goods/education referenced by Valdemar Sguissardi (2008) and finally we will show how this model of expansion interferes with and destabilises the functions of the university mentioned by Anísio Teixeira (1969; 1998), and emphasises the predominance of a lucrative market model in the national educational market, which makes democratisation of access to higher education a myth far from happening in the lives of excluded and vulnerable populations in Mozambican society.
