PS already has a candidate for worst Education minister since April 25th: Fernando Alexandre

ZAP Notícias13 September 2026 at 17:45

The parliamentary leader of PS, Eurico Brilhante Dias, today pointed to the Education minister, Fernando Alexandre, as a candidate for worst Education minister since April 25th. The criticism was made at a press conference held at the party headquarters.

Eurico Brilhante Dias considered it "scandalous" that public education leaves hundreds of students without access to public education, which is compulsory. The parliamentary leader of PS emphasized that this situation occurs in the 21st century, in 2026.

The statement comes at a time when hundreds of students remain without placement in the public education system, prompting strong criticism from the opposition Socialist Party regarding the current government's education policies.

Why this matters

Readers are affected because access to public education is an essential service, and the lack of student placement represents a serious failure in the State's response. This criticism from PS, the opposition party, marks the beginning of a political confrontation around the government's education policies, signaling that education will be a hot topic in Portuguese political debate.
