Minister says that the framing of non-teaching staff requires negotiation with ANMP

The Minister of Education announced a project for the integration of non-teaching staff, currently managed by municipalities, emphasizing the need for negotiations with the National Association of Portuguese Municipalities (ANMP) due to budget implications. This statement was made during the 50th anniversary celebration of a school in Braga. Recently, a strike by non-teaching staff led to the closure of 1,370 schools, highlighting demands for specific career paths. The Minister noted that the ongoing review of the Local Finance Law will address these issues, as they have significant budgetary consequences. Non-teaching workers are seeking recognition and career progression within public administration.
