President of the Republic called upon to intervene in the case of children without school

CNN Portugal12 September 2026 at 19:12

The President of the Republic is being called to intervene in the situation of children who do not have school places. The situation calls into question the right to education and has generated concern at the national level.

The Minister of Education is involved in the controversy for allegedly hiding the real number of children who need to be enrolled. This situation is raising questions about the ministry's transparency.

The case has been escalating and various sectors of civil society have demanded concrete answers from the government. The lack of school places affects thousands of families across the country.

The authorities are under pressure to present concrete data on the situation and find urgent solutions to ensure that all children have access to the education they are entitled to.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal are directly affected by this situation, either as parents who face difficulties in securing school places for their children, or as taxpayers who demand government transparency. The accusation against the Minister of Education of hiding data about the lack of places creates a problem of institutional trust and may have immediate political consequences for the executive.
