This text is the result of several communications in the preparation and celebration of Paulo Freire's Centenary in 2020 and 2021 and intends to share paulo freire's political-pedagogical contribution in the training of educators in Cape Verde and its repercussions on educational policies, based on my doctoral thesis in Education (Varela, 2018). An archipelagic, African and Sahelian country, Cape Verde is one of the rare countries that has developed an original adult education and training policy with remarkable continuity, a subsystem of out-of-school education, parallel and equivalent to the school subsystem, with a curriculum and a specific program, a career of educators integrated in the career of teaching staff and a system of recognition and certification. The work carried out that led to the thesis, it is proposed to contextualize historically the education of educators and analyze their results, using the case study, with an essentially descriptive character. With regard to Paulo Freire's political-pedagogical contribution, the results indicate that the training of educators had positive repercussions, namely on the development of knowledge for the exercise of the profession, in the democratization of access to education, in valuing the professional career of the Adult Educator and in the strengthening of the national educational system.
