Teachers' union classifies the teacher placement process in Madeira as a "disaster"
The Madeira Teachers' Union (SPM) is protesting the placement process for the 2026/2027 school year, citing a significant reduction in hiring (216 teachers this year compared to over 400 last year) despite a rising student population. A protest/public demonstration is scheduled for Wednesday, September 9, in Funchal to voice grievances regarding the staffing crisis.
Why it matters
If you live in Madeira and have children in the school system, this protest and the underlying teacher shortage may result in service disruptions or staffing issues at your school as the academic year begins.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
