Private universities lament exclusion from teacher professionalization service

The Association of Private Higher Education (APESP) has formally questioned the Ministry of Education's decision to exclude private institutions from a 5.5-million-euro contract to provide professional training courses for teachers. The current program, which offers 1,036 spots, is limited to the Universidade Aberta, the University of Lisbon, and the polytechnics of Beja and Setúbal.
