Education Secretary criticizes SPM and says there is nothing wrong with teacher placements

Funchal Notícias8 September 2026 at 23:43

The Regional Secretariat for Education, Science and Technology issued a note criticizing the Madeira Teachers' Union, stating that a "blatant disinformation campaign" is being carried out by the union regarding the start of the school year.

The Secretariat believes it is its obligation, "out of respect for teachers, families, and students," to provide the necessary clarifications about teacher placements.

The regional executive affirms that there is nothing wrong with teacher placements, contradicting the criticisms made by the union.

The note comes in response to concerns raised by SPM regarding the start of the school year in the region.
