The Autonomous Region of Madeira received 658 students in higher education out of a total of 1,563 people who completed their studies, according to Pordata data. This number reflects the proportion between new entrants and graduates in the region.
The data is part of the "Portrait of Portugal" by the Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos, through the Pordata platform. This document analyzes social and economic indicators of the country.
According to this portrait, Madeira has the third lowest ratio among the nine regions analyzed in terms of students in higher education. This indicates that the region has proportionally fewer university students compared to the number of people who complete their studies.
This data comes in the context of challenges that the island region faces in access to higher education, possibly related to the need to travel to the mainland or other geographical and educational offering limitations.
