New classes or more students per classroom: Government guarantees solutions for students still without a place

SIC Notícias14 September 2026 at 14:23

The Portuguese Ministry of Education guarantees that no student of compulsory school age will be left without a school placement. The ministry ensures it is carrying out permanent and daily monitoring of the situation.

As solutions for students who still do not have a place, the Government points to the creation of new classes or increasing the number of students per classroom. These measures aim to ensure that all young people of school age have access to education.

Why this matters

Families with children of compulsory school age who have not yet secured a place directly benefit from this government guarantee, which represents a promise of concrete action to resolve the situation. The article responds to public concern about the capacity of the education system to accommodate all students within the legal deadlines.
