The Council of Ministers approved the final version of the new competitive placement model for teachers, which will allow schools to hire teachers every day. The announcement was made by the Minister of Education, Fernando Alexandre, at the end of the Council of Ministers meeting.
The new model takes effect in the 2027/2028 school year and aims to drastically reduce the time students are without classes due to lack of teachers.
Starting next week, recruitment reserves will be daily, which means schools will be able to look for teachers to replace those who are absent with greater frequency and agility.
Fernando Alexandre highlighted that this change represents a significant shift in the way teachers are placed in schools, allowing a more immediate response to the needs of educational institutions.
