Fernando Alexandre may be the minister Education had been waiting for decades | By Henrique Dias Freire

This opinion article analyzes the performance of Education Minister Fernando Alexandre, praising the recovery of teachers' service time (with almost 90,000 teachers benefiting), support for relocation, and simplification of recruitment procedures, but harshly criticizing the failure to digitize this summer's exams, which forced the re-evaluation of papers and delayed the school calendar. The author concludes that the minister is "on the way" to a long-awaited change, but historical recognition will depend on the ability to transform reforms into lasting results for students.
