"Municipalities do not have access to the enrollment portal and therefore do not have access to the number of students without a school placement"

CNN Portugal15 September 2026 at 12:39

Municipal councils do not have access to the enrollment portal, which means they cannot obtain information about the number of students who are left without a placement in any school. This limitation prevents local authorities from having a complete and up-to-date view of the situation.

Marco Almeida, president of Sintra's municipal council, stated that he has been monitoring "as much as possible" the problem of students without a school placement. He thus acknowledged the difficulties the municipality faces in monitoring this issue.

A meeting between the Ministry of Education, Sintra's municipal council and the directors of the municipality's school groupings is scheduled for this afternoon. The purpose of this meeting is to assess the situation regarding the lack of student placements in schools.

Why this matters

Parents in Sintra need to know that the municipal council has no way to independently identify how many of their children are without a school, relying on information from the Ministry. Today's meeting may result in greater transparency or solutions for students who still do not have a placement, directly affecting families in the municipality.
