Government plans to spend 88 million to place teachers in schools

The government plans to allocate 88 million euros in 2027 to address the shortage of teachers in schools, supporting those who travel far or delay retirement. The initiative, part of the +Classes +Success Plan, aims to attract more educators and improve working conditions. Last year, measures led to the hiring of over 5,500 new teachers, including those returning after a break. The focus will be on areas with the greatest need, particularly in Greater Lisbon, Setúbal Peninsula, and the Algarve. The overall education budget is approximately 7.788 billion euros, with significant funds dedicated to personnel costs and educational resources.
