Minister makes mea culpa and admits that there is no reliable data on students without classes: “I regret having indicated that data, I would not have done so today”

AUntil last week, there were 2238 students who had not yet taken at least one subject since the beginning of the school year. And, according to the accounts presented at the end of last week by the Minister of Education, this value would correspond to a 90% reduction compared to 21 thousand in the same period of 2023/24. But after all, these may not be the case and any comparison with the last academic year is currently impossible, the head of the department now recognizesafter all the doubts that arose, namely from the former Minister of Education João Costa, and the contradictory data he received from the services at different times.
