Gustavo Coutinho carries a 20-out-of-20 average to university

A Voz de Trás-os-Montes3 September 2026 at 14:26

Gustavo Coutinho, a student at the Agrupamento de Escolas Dr. António Granjo, in Chaves, completed secondary school with a 20-out-of-20 average, which represents the maximum classification level in the Portuguese education system. His academic path was marked by good results, involvement with the school, and above all, consistency.

Gustavo is now preparing to begin his degree in Industrial Engineering and Management in Porto. The choice of course did not arise from a single, perfectly defined vocation, as the student admits he has never felt a specific area as a mandatory destiny.

Upon discovering the Industrial Engineering and Management course, Gustavo found a program that allows him to have a broader education and the possibility of making a more concrete decision about the area of specialization in the future.

Mathematics, however, has always been among the subjects that most attracted him. The student says he has always liked the field of mathematics and has always had the idea that it was something he wanted to be associated with at university.

Vatican: Pope asks seminarians to be attentive to human peripheries

Pope Leo XIV received about 150 Italian seminarians at the Vatican and exhorted them to be attentive to human peripheries, serving the most fragile people, such as families in difficulty, young people who emigrate due to lack of work, elderly alone and marginalized. The pontiff rejected the idea of the priesthood as a merit prize, emphasizing that there is no "competition" in vocation, and defended that formative time is a necessary condition to discern the call, far from the noise and haste of the world. Leo XIV also asked that formators apply "science, patience and love" in building authentic communities, thanking families who know how to "let go" of their young people. The meeting in the Clementine Hall commemorated the centenary of the Regional Pugliese Pius XI Seminary and the 300 years of the ecclesiastical college of Aversa.

Miami Immigration Court Eliminates Video Hearings Amid Record Backlogs

The Miami Immigration Court announced that, starting September 8, all non-detained immigrants with pending cases must appear in person at hearings, ending the video participation option available since the beginning of the pandemic. The change affects both preliminary and individual hearings, at a time when Miami-Dade County already concentrates the highest number of pending deportation cases in the country, with 137,373 cases. Additionally, hearings originally scheduled for 2028 to 2030 are being moved up to between September and November 2026, after the arrival of 77 new judges, reducing the average notice period from 158 to just 42 days. Lawyers warn that absences or delays caused by long lines — which already extend to nearby hotels — can result in deportation in absentia, recommending arrival up to two hours before the scheduled time.
