The evolution of curricular organisation of basic and secondary education in Portugal since the institutionalisation of democracy represents a field where relevant changes in the objectives of educational policies, the content of teaching programmes and the structure of the educational system can be observed. This paper concentrates on the analysis of the curriculum established after the decision taken in 1975 to unify the lyceum and technical schools, which tried to impose new educational objectives within a framework of social change. The issue of unification is treated as a process of educational democratisation, where equal opportunities of access to schooling and the extension of common general education for all have a structuring role in educational policies. Also, the unification decision was part of a specific educational project and its proposals for a curriculum model did have a lasting influence on the conceptualisation of educational policies in future reforms.
