Funchal bets on education for all

dnoticias.pt12 September 2026 at 14:32

The councilor responsible for the Education department of the Funchal City Council, Helena Leal, highlighted on Friday the Municipality's commitment to an educational policy that aims to go beyond the school space and involve the entire community. This position was stated at the opening of the III edition of the Funchal Education Seminar.

The seminar is taking place at the Escola Secundária de Horácio Bento de Gouveia and is under the theme "The school we are building". Helena Leal highlighted the importance of municipal intervention complementing the work developed in schools, reinforcing the role of the local authority in valuing education.

Why this matters

The residents of Funchal, particularly families with children of school age, directly benefit from this initiative that aims to extend education beyond the classrooms. The seminar reinforces the role of the municipality in defining local educational policies and promises to continue debating models of municipal intervention complementary to the work of schools.
