SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 12:17

The Minister of Education, Science and Innovation, Fernando Alexandre, inaugurated this Friday two Specialized Technological Centers (CTE) at Escola D. Manuel I, in Beja. During the visit, the official stated that these centers will "completely change vocational education" in Portugal.

Fernando Alexandre highlighted that the national investment in CTE exceeds almost 500 million euros. The goal is to modernize and strengthen vocational training in the country through these specialized spaces.

The Specialized Technological Centers represent a government investment in the qualification of young people and the connection between education and the needs of the labor market. The ceremony in Beja marks another step in the implementation of this network of centers across the national territory.

Why this matters

Readers in the Beja region and Alentejo benefit directly from the opening of these two CTE at Escola D. Manuel I, which represent an investment in the professional qualification of local youth. The announcement of an investment of almost 500 million euros nationwide signals a structural change in Portuguese vocational education policy, which may influence educational choices and employment prospects in the region.
