For now, there are over 3,000 schedules to fill. A “patch” is not enough when 4,000 teachers reform annually.
O academic year It is almost starting in public education. The school calendar predicts that the beginning of classes will be realized from this Thursday, September 11, until next Monday, the 15th.
Problems are already anticipated, once again: teachers are missing, there are more than 3,000 times to fill. In late August, the government announced that it will open an extraordinary contest with almost 1,800 vacancies for zones with more difficulty attracting teachers. Support will also be extended to the displacement of teachers.
But that doesn’t “does not solveneither closely ”the problem, warns José Feliciano Costa, secretary general of the National Federation of Teachers (FENPROF).
Fenprof’s official recalled that, in the coming years, about 4 thousand teachers will reform each other per year. The answer, he argues, should go through effective places.
Also at, Daniel Martins, from the Directorate of the Union of all teachers (s.to.p.), speaks in “patch that does not cover the entire immediate wound, much less compensates for the annual departure of 4,000 teachers for the renovation over the next 10 years, ”he said. And regretted the“ overload of current education professionals with extraordinary work to collect the lack of teachers ”.
Regarding the widening in the support of the travel, the director of S.TO.P. think it is “insufficient to face prices absurdly high with housing. ” universities, He considers, they should open more vacancies in the masters via teaching for students who are finishing the degrees: “It’s truly incomprehensible.”
The missing union warns – as well as teachers – superior technicians (psychologists, gestural language interpreters, social and computer workers), operational and technical workers.
And there is still the issue of the state budget. For this year, an investment of 2,7% Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in education.
Daniel Martins remembers that there is “Astronomical numbers” but… In increasing military expense. And this increase “will necessarily have to be reflected in reducing investment in public services where education is included,” he concludes.
The sunrise asked the Ministry of Education what are the biggest concerns for the beginning of this academic year. The ministry, in the answer, highlighted initiatives such as the package +classes +success, the ban on mobile phones and the aforementioned competition for new vacancies and the enlargement of travel support.
