According to the Ministry of Education, at the end of last week just over a thousand students were left without a teacher in at least one subject, which contradicts the balance made this Wednesday by Fenprof, which speaks of about 40,000 students.
“On December 29, 1,161 students were left without a teacher in at least one subject,” the Ministry of Education said in a statement sent to the Lusa agency.
The guardianship adds that there are no unfilled timetables until the beginning of November, which means that not a single student was left without a teacher in the same subject for more than two months.
The figures released by the Department of Education contradict today’s report from the National Federation of Teachers (Fenprof), which said 40,000 students have resumed classes without all their teachers.
Of these, as the trade union organization also said, almost 2,000 students have lost a teacher since the beginning of the year, that is, they have a subject in which they have never had classes.
“At the beginning of December, there were about 32,000 students who did not have all their teachers,” Fenprof general secretary Mario Nogueira said at a press conference, pointing out that 371 teachers retired in the last month of the year and that more will retire in January another 434 people.
Between September 1 and December 31, 1,415 teachers have already retired, joining the 2,106 who retired between January and August.
