Teacher Shortage: Greater Lisbon Continues to Be the Most Affected Area

SIC Notícias14 September 2026 at 20:41

The Greater Lisbon region continues to be the most affected area by the shortage of teachers in Portuguese public schools. SIC visited several schools in the region and witnessed one of the major problems affecting the public education system. The true number of students starting the school year with schedule gaps remains unknown, which hinders a complete assessment of the situation. This shortage of teachers continues to represent a significant challenge for the functioning of schools in the region.

Why this matters

Readers in the Greater Lisbon region are directly affected by this situation, as their children may face incomplete school schedules from the very first day of classes. The uncertainty about the actual number of affected students prevents an accurate assessment of the severity of the problem and hinders the taking of appropriate corrective measures by education authorities.
