The return to school represents a significant cost for Portuguese families. The article addresses the cost of a school year in public education in Portugal.
Last year, a Portuguese family spent on average 604 euros on the return to school. This amount represents an increase of six euros compared to the previous year, that is, in 2024.
The data refers exclusively to public education, where theoretically the costs with tuition fees are more reduced than in private education. Nevertheless, expenses for school supplies, textbooks, uniforms and other equipment represent a considerable burden for families.
The article does not specify in detail which specific components make up this 604 euro cost, nor does it indicate the official source of the mentioned data.
