PS says Fernando Alexandre is the worst Education minister since the 25th of April

Público13 September 2026 at 13:23

The Socialist Party considered that Fernando Alexandre is the worst Education minister since the 25th of April. The criticism emerges in a context of contestation against the current ministerial team.

Eurico Brilhante Dias spoke to journalists this Sunday, at a press conference, to express the party's position on the Education portfolio.

The Socialist official considered it scandalous that there are students in compulsory education without a place in school. This situation is said to have been one of the main reasons for the strong criticism directed at the minister.

The PS position comes on the eve of possible political developments related to the Executive and the Education portfolio.

Why this matters

This news directly affects Portuguese families with children of compulsory school age who face difficulties in obtaining a place, as well as all taxpayers interested in the quality of the education system. The PS's criticism of the minister represents a relevant episode in the national political debate on education, emerging at a time when the government faces pressures regarding the capacity of the school system.
