With the support of Camões IP, the Centre for International Studies of Iscte - University Institute of Lisbon and the School of Education and Social Sciences of the Polytechnic Institute of Leiria are holding a project on: The Profile of PALOP Students at HEIs in Portugal: characterisation, expectations, difficulties. The aim is to continue reflecting on education co-operation between African countries and other countries in the light of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 4 and SDG 8.
Over the past decade, there has been a notable surge in the presence of students from PALOP countries within the Portuguese university system. Thanks to agreements forged between the Portuguese government and the governments of Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe, students from these nations can pursue higher education through dedicated slots for international students, with tuition fees on par with those applicable to domestic students and those from the European university area.
Despite the evident growth in the number of students hailing from these regions, the available studies on this demographic are sparse and predominantly monographic. It is crucial to attain a more comprehensive understanding of this evolving landscape, wherein Portugal aligns itself with the SDGs, particularly SDG 4 and SDG 8, thereby facilitating the advanced education and training of these students.
The project on the Profile of PALOP Students in Portuguese Higher Education Institutions (PEPIP) aims to:
- carry out a comprehensive study, including the mapping and reception conditions of these students, using a mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative);
- dissemination activities centred on organising a conference on the subject, a report on the study and presentations at specialised forums.
