Teacher Shortage Crisis in Portugal
A recent diagnosis reveals a "state of emergency" in the education sector, particularly affecting the 3rd cycle and secondary education. The lack of qualified teachers is expected to become evident as early as 2026 in key subjects such as Arts, Computer Science, and Humanities, while the Science disciplines may face shortages by 2029.
Mário Cruz reports that in major subjects, there are no teachers aged 30 or younger, raising concerns about the future of education in the country. The findings indicate a pressing need for solutions to attract and retain young educators to ensure quality education for students.
This situation poses significant challenges for students and educational institutions, as the lack of teachers could hinder learning outcomes and overall educational quality. The urgency of the situation calls for immediate action from policymakers and education stakeholders to address these impending shortages and develop a robust strategy for the future of education in Portugal.
