Municipality of Mação gains students in new school year

The new school year begins today in the municipality of Mação with a slight increase in the number of students. The councilor for Education, in statements to the news agency Agência Ecclesia, commented on the growth of the school population in the municipality. "We have more students than in the previous school year and, in a municipality with the demographic characteristics of Mação, it is data that we naturally value," said the councilor. The Municipal Council of Mação also decided to make Escola Virtual available to all students over the next three years. This educational platform will be offered free of charge to students in the municipality, according to the councilor. The municipality of Mação faces demographic challenges typical of inland areas of the country, which makes the increase in students a positive development for the local authority. The initiative to make Escola Virtual available aims to support the learning process of the municipality's students.
