Chega wants Portuguese and European children to have priority in access to schools

Now27 August 2026 at 14:42

The Chega party presented a bill in the Portuguese Parliament that proposes giving priority to Portuguese and European children in access to public schools, ensuring that children from third countries would only be admitted after all applications from national citizens and the European Union have been satisfied. The party's deputies deny that the measure aims to exclude foreign students, stating that the objective is only to ensure that legal residents have preference in access to public education. The proposal has generated debate about education access rights and immigration policies in Portugal.
