The variants of the Statutes of the Teaching Career (ECD) over more than three decades of the only Public University in the Country - Universidade Agostinho Neto (UAN), rewarded a regulation that intertwined with rationalization and optimization logics in the name of development and competitiveness economic, (de) contextualize due to mimicry of the civil service rule in the design and management of ECD and related standards.
