“The government has already taken a step forward from the original position, which was to consider the issue of work experience as fixed. A significant step that represents an investment of more than 160 million euros in the careers of teachers, and now it is also time to recognize that this step has been taken,” Joao Costa told RTP, calling for “a return to serenity”. Marcelo Rebelo de Souza warned the day before yesterday that he would still listen to the unions and that he would veto the diploma unless it represented a “balanced solution”.
The unions backed out of an agreement with the government because they understood that a diploma exacerbates the asymmetry between teachers. However, yesterday’s strike did not affect the final math test in the 9th grade due to the minimum of services, the directors assure. For the Portuguese Mathematical Society, the test was “balanced” and with “the right level of difficulty”.
