This paper presents the syllabus of a new course, Literature and Culture Themes, that, since January 2012, joined the Curricular Component of Social Sciences and Humanities of East Timorese General Secondary Education, as a result of curricular restructuring project carried out by a team coordinated by Professor Isabel P. Martins, from the University of Aveiro (Portugal). It presents the principles that guided the creation of the syllabus and explains the curricular choices made during this process. The text also analyses the implementation development on the ground, the main difficulties founded and it anticipates some of the future challenges for the development of literary education in a country with no tradition of teaching literature at the secondary level of education.
