The Minister of Education admitted that "hundreds" of students remain without a school place at the start of the school year. The situation is considered more critical in the Lisbon region, where the problem is more acutely worsening.
Faced with this reality, some families have turned to courts to demand compensation from the Government. These legal actions represent a response from parents and guardians to the lack of response from educational authorities.
The article does not specify how many students are effectively without school, nor does it indicate the concrete reasons for this situation, but the public acknowledgment by the Minister of Education indicates that the problem is significant and affects several hundred students.
