Portuguese schools are facing a human resources crisis with 2,650 positions unfilled at the start of the school year. This situation represents a significant problem for the national education system, leaving thousands of teaching vacancies without applicants.
José Feliciano Costa, one of the general secretaries of Fenprof (National Federation of Teachers), was the one who revealed these concerning figures. The trade union federation has been closely monitoring the evolution of the teacher placement process in schools.
According to Costa, the data is clear: if the school year started now, thousands of students would not have their teachers assigned. This reality directly affects the quality of education and the organization of schools.
The article does not specify the reasons for these unfilled vacancies, but the problem arises in a broader context of difficulties in hiring teachers for the Portuguese education system.
