Teachers in protest in Funchal express outrage over placement process
Teachers held a protest in Funchal this Wednesday, 2026-09-09, criticizing what they call 'unclear procedures' in the 2026/2027 school year placement process in Madeira. The union claims that changes to classroom staffing criteria, particularly in pre-school education, have left many teachers without placements, while the Regional Secretariat of Education maintains that the reduction in teaching positions is due to a natural decrease in the number of school classes.
Why it matters
If you are a teacher or parent in Madeira, this reflects ongoing instability in school staffing and potential disruptions for the 2026/2027 school year, though no new specific action is required from you at this time.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
