Rui Teixeira, in an opinion article, commented on the regional government's announcement regarding the hiring of 108 Operational Assistants for the Schools of the Region. The author considers the news positive, but warns that this number is insufficient given the real needs on the ground.
According to the article, the Azores have approximately 40 Schools and 120 School Nuclei, which include Kindergarten and Primary Cycle. The majority of these institutions need more resources than those announced by the government.
The author questions whether the 108 hired assistants will be sufficient to meet the needs of all schools and school nuclei in the region, suggesting that the shortage experienced is much greater than the number presented by the regional executive.
