To attract teachers, some schools are guaranteeing free housing
Schools, particularly in the south of Portugal, are increasingly offering free municipal housing to teachers as an incentive to fill vacancies for 1st-cycle students. This practice, driven by high rental costs and teacher shortages, has been used as a last resort by school clusters to ensure classes continue through the school year.
