Classes are about to start and some schools are still looking for teachers

Classes are about to begin, but several schools in Portugal are still looking for teachers to fill positions. The situation raises concerns about the start of the school year and the ability to guarantee teachers for all classes and subjects. The National Education Federation (FNE) expressed interest in obtaining concrete data on the extent of this problem. The union organization wants to know exactly how many positions remain unfilled and which areas of the country are most affected by this shortage of teachers. This is not a new situation in Portugal, where difficulties in hiring teachers frequently occur, especially for certain specialties and regions.
