The tragedy that cannot be swept under the rug

Público10 September 2026 at 00:10

The tragedy that cannot be swept under the rug is an opinion article by Manuel Carvalho about Portugal's results in the 2025 PISA report. The author classifies the numbers as a tragedy for the country, considering that they cannot be ignored or downplayed. In the article's subtitle, Carvalho states that Portugal is failing blatantly in an essential domain for projecting an optimistic future, which is that of education. The text emerges as an opinionated reflection on the state of the Portuguese educational system, alerting to the gravity of the data presented by the Programme for International Student Assessment.

Girls are more affected when climate impacts disrupt education, according to the UN

A UNICEF report revealed that more than 171 million students in 106 countries and territories had their education disrupted last year due to extreme climate events, such as heat waves, storms, and wildfires. The UN agency for childhood warned that girls face a greater risk of dropping out of school when their institutions are damaged or forced to close, whether by floods, droughts, or other natural disasters related to climate change. The document highlights that, although all students are impacted, girls are particularly vulnerable to losing access to education in climate crisis scenarios.
