Este trabalho tem como tema “A Carreira Profissional de Professores de Ensino Superior em
Angola”, cujo objetivo geral é: analisar os desafios da carreira dos professores de Ensino
Superior em Angola. Para os devidos efeitos, levantamos uma pergunta de partida, com a
qual desejamos conhecer quais são os desafios da carreira do professor de Ensino Superior
em Angola. Quanto à orientação metodológica, a pesquisa radica na abordagem qualitativa,
sendo a recolha de informação feita através de inquérito por entrevista semidiretiva. O guião
de inquérito foi constituído por 8 perguntas abertas, que foram elaboradas com base na
revisão da literatura previamente realizada, cujo guião foi aplicado aos professores de Ensino
Superior em Angola. A nossa amostra por conveniência é constituída por nove professores.
O critério de seleção da amostra foi o tempo de serviço, isto, docentes com cinco ou mais
anos de experiência. Em relação ao tratamento dos dados obtidos, seguimos as etapas
recomendadas para a análise de conteúdo, sendo que algumas das dimensões de análise
foram definidas a priori. Os resultados da nossa pesquisa mostram-nos que existem 5
categorias de professores de Ensino Superior em Angola, tais como professor catedrático,
professor associado, professor auxiliar, assistente e assistente estagiário; e que a maior
aspiração na carreira dos professores é ascender diferentes escalões e, chegar a categoria
do professor catedrático. No entanto, os desafios da carreira dos professores de Ensino
Superior em Angola são ingentes, nomeadamente: (i) a falta de meios materiais, tecnológicos
e financeiros necessários para a produção científica; (ii) a necessidade de uma maior
valorização de conhecimento, visando garantir a satisfação das expetativas dos estudantes,
tendo sempre presente o lado instrumental da educação; (iii) a formação de quadros de alta
qualidade capazes de promover o desenvolvimento do país; (iv) a necessidade de
automotivação face a desvalorização da profissão resultante de más condições de trabalho.
Entre os motivos que levaram os professores a escolherem a profissão destacam-se, dum
lado, o amor à profissão e a influência de professores, doutro lado, a necessidade de
assegurar a primeira oportunidade de trabalho e o receio de viver desempregado por
escassez de melhores oportunidades.

Therefore, we have raised the following research question: what is the greatest aspiration of lecturer career in Angola? The research methodology used is based on the qualitative approach. The information was collected through semi-structured interview. The guide of the survey was made up of eight open-ended questions, which were elaborated based on document analysis and literature review carried out previously. The guide was used to interview the lecturers from higher education in Angola. For our convenience, the sample is made up of nine lecturers, and the selection was based on the years of service, working with lecturers with five or more years of experience. The information gathered was treated following the steps recommended for content analysis. The result of our research shows that there are five categories of higher education lecturers in Angola, such as full professor, associate professor, assistant professor, assistant, and trainee assistant; and that the greatest aspiration of lecturer career is to be promoted from one category to another and reach the category of full professor. However, the result of our research also shows that the challenges related to lecturer career in Angola are enormous, namely: (i) the lack of material, technological and financial resources deemed necessary for scientific production; (ii) the need for greater appreciation of knowledge, aiming to meet the student’s expectations, bearing in mind the instrumental side of education; (iii) training of high-quality staff capable of promoting the development of the country; (iv) the need for self-motivation in the face of the devaluation of the profession resulting from poor working conditions. Among the reasons that led the lecturers to choose their career, on the one hand, we have the passion for the career, and the influence from former lecturers; on the other hand, the need to secure the first job offer and the fear of being unemployed due to lack of better opportunities.
