Objectives
The main aim of this proposal is to identify the various factors, internal and external to the school, which contribute to the students' academic excellence. We hope the research results will clearly indicate the excellence profiles being developed in Portuguese schools, and also their educational, cultural and socio-economic impact. We also hope that, in a more political and strategic perspective, they can contribute to questioning a set of guidelines/recommendations for a clearer definition of the State School mission.
