The Association of Scientific Officers (ABIC) this Saturday expressed concern over the merger of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education with the Ministry of Education, considering it a “political sign of devaluation” of these areas.
“It is with great concern and concern that the Association of Scientific Officers views the recent announcement of the composition of the new government, in particular the merger of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education with the Ministry of Education. Given the complexity of the issues covered by both ministries, the policy indication of devaluing these areas by bringing them under a single umbrella is beyond doubt,” ABIC said in a statement.
Education, higher education and science will again be under the same supervision under the XXIV Constitutional Government, and the new Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation will be headed by economist Fernando Alexandre.
