The Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation, through the Pordata data platform, produced a portrait of the Portuguese education system based on the most recent official data available.
The report reveals a decrease in the number of students in compulsory education, which represents a challenge for the national education system.
The shortage of teachers is another of the problems identified in this portrait of education in Portugal, affecting the capacity of schools to respond.
The document also outlines a landscape marked by major inequalities in access and quality of education, from pre-school to higher education.
