The National Federation of Teachers (Fenprof) expressed opposition to the merger of the first and second cycles of basic education, arguing that this change lacks justification and prior studies. The union organization considers that a change of this nature would necessarily imply modifying current law.
The teachers represented by Fenprof want to understand why this change is being proposed and what are its advantages and disadvantages. The federation believes that any decision of this magnitude should be preceded by an in-depth analysis of its implications.
Fenprof's position arises in the context of a broader debate on the reorganization of the Portuguese education system, where the possible merging of cycles has been discussed by different entities in the sector.
