Portugal is the fourth best country in the world for retirement – Cidade Hoje
The National Federation of Teachers (Fenprof) defended today the reduction in the number of students per class and the valorization of the profession as forms of investment in Education by the parties party to the legislative laws of the 30th.
“In the next legislature, it is necessary to stop municipalization, democratize management, reduce the number of students per class, guarantee conditions for specific inclusive education and let them be like schools to choose the projects to be developed”, is defended in the position of Fenprof sent to members, an appeal to vote on the legislative advantages of the 30th.
In relation to professionals, a Fenprof considered that “it is essential to break with the path of devaluation and disrespect to which they have been subjected”, through the fight against precariousness, the recomposition of careers, respect for working hours, by improving the conditions of work, the rejuvenation of the teaching profession and the creation of a specific retirement scheme.
Measures that, for the National Federation of Teachers, allow investing in Education and Science, valuing public schools and the teaching profession, young young people for the profession, after years of disinvestment.
For Fenprof, the next Government “will have to be available to dialogue and negotiate solutions to the problems, breaking the blockade that, in recent years, has been imposed”.
The answer to the problems of Education and its professionals, according to Fenprof, does not involve privatizing public services, nor by revising the Constitution of the Republic or the Basic Law of the Educational System, but by complying with it.
The position of the national secretariat of Fenprof was taken at a meeting that took place in the last two days to prepare the return to schools in the second period and define priorities with the Government and the Assembly of the Republic, after the previous legislative sessions of the 30th.
