15 minutes: more students per class and containers are the Government's solutions to guarantee spots in schools

SIC Notícias15 September 2026 at 20:53

The Government is implementing measures to guarantee spots for all students in schools, including increasing the number of students per class and using containers to create new classrooms. These solutions were presented as a way to respond to the growing demand for school places.

The proposal divides school principals, who have divergent opinions on the effectiveness and viability of these measures. Some consider them necessary given the scarcity of space, while others express concerns about the quality of education.

The National Federation of Teachers (Fenprof) states that, despite the announced measures, hundreds of students still remain without a place in school. The union alerts to the gravity of the situation and criticizes the insufficiency of the solutions presented by the Government.

Why this matters

This news directly affects students, parents, and teachers in Portugal, who are facing a school spot crisis. The government's controversial proposal emerges as a response to warnings from Fenprof about hundreds of students still without a place, representing a potential temporary solution to a growing problem in the Portuguese education system.
