The regulation also indicates that kindergartens can be installed in containers or integrated into universities or hospitals, which is already the case at the Centro Hospitalar Universitário da Cova da Beira (CHUCB), in Covilhã and at the university hospital. Coimbra.
“Children’s centers can be installed in modular structures, in existing buildings or in premises integrated with universities, hospitals, companies and public organizations,” the ruling says.

The ruling states that increasing the capacity of kindergartens is “extremely important to ensure equal opportunities for men and women and ensure equal opportunities for children.”
On Wednesday, the minister also announced “the automatic conversion of spaces previously intended for a nursery into children’s rooms, provided that the safety and comfort issues of children are naturally protected, and only a message will be sent to the Social Security Institute for this purpose.” “.
The intention of the government through these measures is to “improve reconciliation between work, personal and family life.”
