One euro per answer in national exams: the odyssey of instant justice

The article analyzes the Portuguese government's decision to pay one euro for each classified answer to the teachers who grade national exams. The author criticizes the measure as a solution that appears to solve the problem of lack of graders, but actually masks deeper issues: the overload of teaching work, the demotivation of the profession, and the lack of professional recognition. The piece questions whether this "instant justice" is sufficient to attract teachers to an ungrateful and poorly paid task, suggesting that the real resolution would require deeper structural changes in the valorization of the teaching profession.
