Government to increase class sizes to address lack of spaces in Lisbon's public schools

SIC Notícias15 September 2026 at 00:57

The Ministry of Education and school clusters in Lisbon met urgently to address the lack of vacancies in the city's public schools. The meeting came after strong controversy that left several students unplaced at the start of the school year.

The solution found by the government involves three main measures: increasing the number of students per class, opening new classes, and reorganizing available spaces in schools.

This situation directly affects students and families in Lisbon who were unable to secure a place in the region's public institutions, generating indignation and pressure on educational authorities.

Why this matters

Parents and guardians in Lisbon are directly facing the consequences of this crisis, with children without guaranteed places in the region's public schools. The regional government had to intervene urgently to mitigate a situation that threatens the normal start of the school year.
