Intersectorality: a challenge for educational attention to school diversity in Mozambique

Abstract

The transformation process that the educational system in Mozambique is undergoing is aimed at complying with the sustainable development goals declared at a universal level. The human and social progress achieved highlights the challenge that educational attention to diversity implies in the context of the inclusive school. The actions developed led to the analysis of the foundations that support the objective of proposing a pedagogical conception for intersectoral work in educational attention to school diversity in Mozambique. The research methods used followed a descriptive-explanatory approach, supported by theoretical level methods, including historical-logical, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, structural-functional systemic and modeling; in addition to methods of the empirical level, such as documentary analysis, observation, interview, evaluation by expert criteria and the methodological triangulation technique, as well as the procedures of descriptive statistics based on the calculation of the index and inferential statistics for performing hypothesis tests; those that allowed to analyze, interpret and process the information related to the object of investigation, highlighting the role of intersectorality in the educational field as a social need. The pedagogical conception, with an intersectoral approach, reveals the participation of various government agencies and institutions in achieving quality educational care. The results obtained confirmed the need to treat aspects related to intersectorality.
