Os ‘rankings’ das escolas não contam a história toda

The annual school rankings spark discussions but fail to address the underlying issues in education. Private schools consistently rank higher, while public schools struggle, with the best public school at 38th place. Education Minister Fernando Alexandre highlighted the unequal conditions faced by public schools, which cater to students with special needs and immigrants. The rankings also reveal disparities between northern and southern schools, particularly in teacher shortages in high-cost areas. Strikes disrupt learning, impacting students reliant on public education. The public school system needs actionable solutions rather than more assessments.
