Review of Competences in Primary Education Curriculum in Mozambiqu : How an Assessment is Supposed to Be Done on It in Mathematics?

This article aims to discuss competence assessment in primary education in Mozambique, based in the New Curriculum perspective (INDE, 2020), the transformations in the assessment regulation (MINEDH, 2019), and our experience as a teacher and pedagogical technician in Mozambique. The article consists in review of official documents, Primary Education Curricula and mathematic curriculum. The Mozambican assessment regulation previews different types of assessment, however, the summative assessment, highlighting grading, tends to be the most common practice, ignoring the development of competences that implies a competence assessment. We suggest a deep reflection to adjust the prescribed practices to the reality of primary education in Mozambique.
