The National Federation of Teachers (Fenprof) alerted to the existence of 2,650 unfilled positions just days before the start of the new school year. This number represents a serious situation that affects the functioning of Portuguese schools.

The trade union organization expressed concern about the worsening working conditions for teachers, warning that this situation may compromise the quality of education and the proper functioning of educational institutions.

The alert comes at a critical time, just days before the start of the school year, leaving parents, students, and teachers in a situation of uncertainty regarding the resolution of these unfilled positions. Fenprof has been advocating for the valorization of the teaching profession and better working conditions for teachers.
