15 minutes: Minister of Education acknowledges that the teacher shortage problem is structural

SIC Notícias1 September 2026 at 21:01

The Minister of Education publicly acknowledged that the lack of teachers constitutes a structural problem in the education system. This statement was made in a context of growing concern about the shortage of teachers in schools.

According to the minister, the solution to this problem is not simple and involves several measures. Strengthening teacher training is considered essential to attract more professionals to the teaching career.

In addition to training, the government also intends to use overtime hours to meet immediate needs. Splitting schedules is another strategy pointed out to ensure that all classes have a teacher.

These measures indicate that the executive admits that the problem of teacher shortages does not have a quick solution, requiring medium and long-term interventions in the education system.
