Growing Number of Unassigned Teachers
As the new academic year approaches, the number of teachers without assigned positions in Portugal is on the rise. Recent calculations indicate that there are currently approximately 21,000 teachers awaiting placement, an increase from 19,382 at the end of August. This surge is attributed to factors such as retirements and medical leave.
The data was derived from the second recruitment reserve list for the 2024/2025 academic year, which was released earlier this week. The situation raises concerns as many students are expected to start the school year without having all their teachers in place, potentially impacting the quality of education.
Stay tuned for further updates as the situation develops and more information on teacher placements becomes available.
