Guimarães: Students from Barco Will Start the School Year with School Supplies Guaranteed by the Junta

All students at the Escola Básica de Barco, in Guimarães, will receive school supplies offered by the Junta de Freguesia at the start of the 2026/2027 school year. The measure is repeated by the local authority and represents direct support to families at a time when expenses associated with the return to classes are increasing. The supplies will be prepared by the Junta de Freguesia itself for distribution to the students. This initiative comes in a context of growing financial pressure on Portuguese families, who face high costs with the return to school, including school supplies, uniforms, and other essential expenses for their children.
