Since 2013, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has been developing an intervention in education in Portugal, with the objective of building a National Skills Strategy, with a particular focus on adult education and, later on (2017), in the context of a national policy for primary and secondary education, the Project Autonomy and Curriculum Flexibility. In both cases, these are policies under the Education e Training 2020 Program, within the framework of European education policies, and constitute dynamics that mobilize the direct work of OECD technicians with actors in the field of schools and other educational contexts. The Europeanisation of education and public policies in this field, and generally the action of supranational organizations, is the expression of a new educational order associated with political processes and projects of globalization and the knowledge based economy. In this paper, the pathway of the Europeanization of education is analyzed in order to discuss, taking in account the above mentioned education policies, whether the centrality of national mediation may be taking different forms derived from this more recent connection in action in education between global and local actors and contexts. These metamorphoses can, for example, take place through previously unknown articulations in the constitution of global and local spaces, with new roles and protagonisms for national authorities, as well as for international organizations and other profiles for actors and local contexts.
