The secondary school completion rate is lowest in the Lisbon, Setúbal and Algarve regions, according to data from a Pordata report. These regions show performance below the national average regarding secondary school completion by students.
The report indicates a context characterized by a decrease in the number of students in lower education levels. This trend is reflected in a change in the structure of the Portuguese education system.
In contrast, there is an increase in the number of students in higher education, with particular emphasis on the presence of foreign students. This growth in the international student population contributes to the current dynamics of higher education in Portugal.
