The education in Angola has had moments, guided by advances and setbacks in it's education policy, that lead to positive developments as well as it's affirmation in the international and even regional context. We therefore want, via a bibliographic and archive search, to consider this route, highlighting the most emblematic measures, with special emphasis on the period of intensification of Portuguese colonial policy, the post--independence period and ending with the period of consolidation of peace. This extensive analysis enabled us to understand why the Angolan education system still faces many difficulties that limit not only their performance but, above all their overall value.
