Pureza criticizes Government's "nonsense" in the face of "so many students without teachers"

SIC Notícias12 September 2026 at 16:50

The coordinator of the Left Bloc, Pedro Santos Pereira, known as Pureza, criticized what he considered to be the Government's inaction regarding the lack of teachers in Portuguese schools. For the Left Bloc official, the executive is not providing adequate responses to a situation that affects thousands of students.

According to the criticism put forward, there are thousands of unfilled schedules in schools, which according to Pureza creates a "dimension of turbulence, of some chaos, in people's lives." The coordinator of the Left Bloc considered that this situation is far from being resolved.

Pureza also accused the Government of limiting itself to discursive "nonsense," without taking concrete measures to solve the problem. In his view, the executive is not addressing the underlying issue which, according to the Left Bloc, is related to the cost of living.

Why this matters

This article directly affects Portuguese families with children of school age, who face the reality of classes without a homeroom teacher. The Left Bloc's criticism comes after concrete data on unfilled schedules, showing that the issue of teacher shortages remains unresolved despite government measures.

Scrutiny Needed!

A new private Family Health Unit opened in Torres Vedras, concessioned by the State, serving 5,463 users without a family doctor, while 19 similar units are in the process of opening, five in the Algarve. The article questions the transfer of responsibilities from the NHS to private operators, suggesting that the Ministry of Health was unable or unwilling to hire available doctors. It also mentions rumors, denied by the Minister, about the handover of ULS Algarve to the Union of Misericórdias, and warns of a "profound reformulation" of the NHS without the necessary democratic scrutiny, recalling that PSD voted against the creation of the service in 1979 and that a 1982 decree-law on the NHS was declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court.
