Notícias de Coimbra11 September 2026 at 07:10

Schools begin today to welcome students for another school year that will be marked by the ban on smartphones up to 9th grade. This measure represents one of the main new features of the back-to-school period, covering students from 1st to 9th grade.

The school year also starts with teacher shortage problems in schools. Various subjects face difficulties in hiring teachers, which could affect the normal functioning of classes.

Schools also face logistical and organizational challenges in implementing the new rules regarding electronic devices. Educational establishments will have to define procedures to ensure compliance with the ban.

This back-to-school period comes at a time when the education sector is seeking to adapt to the new requirements and regulations defined for the school year in question.
