10 minutes: Ministry of Education ordered schools in Lisbon to open new classes

SIC Notícias15 September 2026 at 15:12

The Ministry of Education issued an order directed at schools in Lisbon to open new classes. This measure aims to accommodate all students who currently do not have an assigned place.

The solution found by the ministry also involves increasing the number of students per class. With this strategy, the Ministry aims to ensure that no student is left without access to education in the capital.

The decision comes in a context of high demand for school places in Lisbon, where the existing capacity in schools has not been sufficient to meet the demand.

Why this matters

Parents and guardians in Lisbon are directly affected, as their children may be placed in overcrowded classes. The measure comes as a response to a crisis of lack of school places in the city, forcing institutions to adapt their capacity.

The European decision, made on July 16, confirmed that the law was compatible with European law, but the Spanish court has now found grounds to refuse the application of the pardon in Puigdemon's specific case, thus maintaining the pending arrest warrant against the Catalan politician.
