Abstract

In this paper we present and discuss the guidelines followed in the drawing up of the general secondary school curriculum for Sciences and Technology area in East Timor (10th, 11th and 12th grades). In particular we explain how they were concretized in the chemistry programs, student textbooks and teacher guides, which were conceived under the idea of education for sustainability combined with the Millennium Development Objectives. The chemistry contents are contextualized in real life situations in order to promote problem solving and laboratory work skills.
