The National Education Federation (FNE) wrote a letter to the Minister of Education, Fernando Alexandre, in which it criticizes the situation of the education sector in Portugal. A federation points out that the country has a "problem of decision" when it comes to education policy, suggesting that there is a lack of clear and effective decision-making at the political level.
In the communication, FNE appeals to the minister for the various problems affecting the Portuguese educational system to be resolved. The federation highlights that the scarcity of teachers is not a problem that arises suddenly, but rather the result of structural failures that have been accumulating over time.
FNE emphasizes that the lack of teachers does not begin when a classroom is left without a teacher, indicating that the causes of the problem are deeper and require interventions more comprehensive than mere temporary solutions. The federation appears to want to pressure the government to adopt more structural and long-term measures for the sector.
