Government satisfied but asks for prudence with PISA results

Açoriano Oriental10 September 2026 at 15:56

Azorean students obtained positive results in the PISA 2025 assessment, the Programme for International Student Assessment. Sofia Ribeiro, regional secretary of Education and Educational Administration of the Azores, acknowledges that these results are satisfactory for the region.

However, the official emphasizes that it is still premature to attribute this improvement to any specific educational measure or reform implemented in the region. According to Sofia Ribeiro, the results should be analyzed with prudence and it is not advisable to draw premature conclusions about the causes of this progress.

This position aims to temper expectations and avoid making direct associations between the implemented educational policies and the results achieved, without sufficient data to establish this correlation in a grounded manner.

Where were you on September 11? The afternoon when the world stopped

On September 11, 2001, when a plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 1:46 PM in Portugal, the initial reports spoke of an accident. Seventeen minutes later, a second plane hit the South Tower live on air, and the entire country stopped to watch what would become one of the greatest attacks in history. The piece describes how the Portuguese experienced that afternoon, from the cafés that fell silent to parents who picked up their children from school with a feeling that something had changed. Twenty-five years later, the article remembers the nearly three thousand victims, the global consequences that followed — from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to the transformation of airport security — and the recent release of more than 170,000 pages of documents about air quality at Ground Zero, highlighting that there are events that cease to belong to one country alone and become the memory of an entire generation.

A remarkable week for the future of Space

A historic week redefined the European space policy landscape with three interconnected events: the first successful orbital launch of a private European rocket, the Spectrum from German Isar Aerospace, from Norway; the announcement by SpaceX of a $100 billion investment in Starbase Louisiana, with a target of more than 30 daily launches by 2030; and Ursula von der Leyen's speech at the Paris Space Summit, where she outlined the European vision for autonomy in space access. The absence of American companies from the event, under pressure from Washington, highlighted geopolitical tensions in the sector. The article concludes that Europe has the capacity to compete, but now needs to decide whether to move forward with industrial scale or stay watching the global space race.

What if God's answer is not what you expected?

This opinion article from the Diocese of Funchal reflects on the nature of faith and prayer, questioning the human tendency to expect God to answer exactly as requested. The text argues that true faith is demonstrated when we continue to trust in God even when His answers differ from our expectations, whether through a "no," a different "yes," or silence. Drawing on Saint Paul's message in Romans 8:28, the article reminds readers that God can bring good even from what seems like defeat or loss, inviting the reader to maintain trust even without fully understanding the divine plan.
