The Portuguese government intends to merge the 1st and 2nd cycles of basic education, with the intention of moving forward already next school year. The change will be implemented through a pilot project, which will serve as an initial experience before a possible expansion.
This reorganization will not be limited to the students' curriculum. The article indicates that changes for teachers are also planned, suggesting significant changes in working conditions and teacher training.
The executive's plan aims to reform the structure of basic education, unifying these two cycles that currently operate separately in Portuguese schools.
