ALVES, J. Eduardo M.. Past, present and future of educational governance in the Autonomous Region of Madeira. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2013, vol.26, n.1, pp.349-376. ISSN 0871-9187.

The consecration, on the Portuguese Constitution, of the Autonomous Regions came in the area of educational administration to point an ideological rupture, perhaps also a cultural tradition, with the centralist State. Moreover, it may be said that this reality was equally bring to the organizational dimension of the State, as a whole, analyzed by a prism of Education governance, also a will and intention of a redistribution of the power between the center and periphery, and having as final objective to safeguard the respect for diversity and proximity of educational policies. Madeira has been, since the dawn of regionalization in education, ‘drawing in stages’, a gradual construction of a model of regional tendency, initially by replacement and after by creating, but whose evolution, after his consecration, there must now wait to see what policy makers intend to do it and know what sense can we expect in the future.
