The new rules for hiring teachers were published this Thursday in the Official Gazette, the official journal of the Portuguese State. These rules come in the context of facilitating the entire recruitment process for teachers in the education system.
The main objective of the changes is to prevent students from being without classes for prolonged periods. With simplified hiring processes, the aim is to ensure a faster response to schools' needs.
The measure aims to solve one of the chronic problems of the Portuguese education system, where the lack of teachers in various subjects has led to significant interruptions in teaching. With these new rules, the Ministry of Education expects to be able to fill vacancies more efficiently and with less bureaucratic delays.
