Secondary education completion rate is lowest in Lisbon, Setúbal and Algarve — study

SAPO Notícias7 September 2026 at 00:03

The secondary education completion rate is lowest in the regions of Lisbon, Setúbal and Algarve, according to a Pordata report.

This phenomenon occurs in a context where there are fewer students enrolled in the lower levels of education.

At the same time, there is an increase in the number of students in higher education, particularly foreign students.

The Pordata report analyses this data within the scope of the Portuguese education system and its regional disparities.
