The schools in the municipality of Lisbon will be able to increase the number of students per class to accommodate students who started the school year without an assigned place. The solution was found in a meeting between school groupings and the Agency for the Management of the Educational System (AGSE), which took place until around 10pm on Monday. This measure aims to resolve the immediate problem of placing students who were left without a school at the start of the year. However, the same problem persists in the municipality of Sintra, where a solution has still not been found for students without a place in schools.

Why this matters
Parents in Lisbon finally see a light at the end of the tunnel to place their children in school, although through more crowded classes. In Sintra, thousands of families continue without a response, and children risk losing weeks of classes. This situation follows years of urban growth without school planning.
