Portugal: thousands voice their support for public education

Around 80,000 Portuguese citizens have voiced their support for a strong public school system, reaffirming its primary role in promoting equal opportunities and building a future of justice, progress and development.

On 18 June, capital city Lisbon was the location for a massive March for Public School. The event was organised by several organisations, including Education International (EI) affiliate Federaçao Nacional dos Professores (FENPROF), to express the view that it is unacceptable to fund private schools with public money. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), since 2001, public expenditure on private schools in Portugal amounts to about €4 billion. At the same time, huge cuts have been imposed on public education, particularly in the last four years.
