• Abstract:

  This article aimed to understand the successful changes in institutional practices and routines in higher education in the face of the Covid-19 crisis, highlighting the challenges of the sector's functioning in the context of the pandemic in Mozambique. The scenario of rapid spread and declaration of the new coronavirus as a world pandemic by the World Health Organization made the government declare a State of Emergency in 2020, with successive extensions, and followed by the declaration of Public Calamity Situation in 2021. This imposed the adequacy and adaptation of teaching-learning activities to the new health reality. It is a work that is classified as a qualitative approach and descriptive and exploratory typology, essentially supported by a bibliographical and documentary review. The results indicate direct implications and profound changes in the teaching process and dynamics due to emergency measures and suspension of in-person classes that imposed the sudden adoption of digital technologies and platforms in higher education.
