Portugal developed Curriculum Guidelines for Pre-school Education (2012)
provides free voluntary pre-primary education for 3-4 year-olds.
Enrolment of 5-year-olds in pre-primary or primary education is compulsory.
Upper secondary education, compulsory since 2009, lasts three years and includes academic and vocational courses.
It is organized into four strands: sciences and humanities, technological, specialized artistic and vocational education.
Vocational education and training (VET) can facilitate entry into the labour market and is available for those who have completed at least nine years of schooling or equivalent training.
Tertiary education is offered at universities and polytechnic institutions.

Reforms undertaken in relation to Teachers
- Dr Ashok KumaarThe Indian High School, Dubai
![Page 31: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Developing positive learning environments for school leaders and teachers to succeed is essential to raising achievement in Portugal’s schools.
• In PISA 2012, students report having better relations with their teachers than the OECD average and view their classrooms as conducive to learning at the OECD average
• Reforms in relation to teachers include two broad areas:– Teacher Training Program– Teacher Evaluation Program
![Page 32: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Teachers in Portugal must complete a five-year pre-service teacher-training programme that includes a teaching practicum and requires a competitive entry examination.
• They have compulsory continuous training and benefit from comparatively high salaries.
1. Teacher Training Program
![Page 33: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
1. Teacher Training Program (cont.)Several initiatives aim to strengthen the teaching profession, including :
more stringent admission conditions in teachers education programmes;
reinforced scientific curricula in teachers education programmes;
introduction of an evaluation exam for teachers with a professional qualification and/or fixed-term contract for teachers with less than five years of practice
introduction of a lifelong training framework for teachers that links continuing professional development to career progression and aims to improve the quality of teaching.
![Page 34: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
2. Teacher Evaluation Program
• Teacher appraisal is recent in Portugal. • In 2007, the national teacher appraisal system
was mostly based on peer evaluation.
It included teaching standards, criteria and instruments for
appraisals, and consequences on career progression.
The system focused more on accountability (career progression)
than on improvement
classroom observations in Portugal were only mandatory in specific cases, such as to obtain
an excellent mark in the probationary year or if the
teacher received an insufficient mark in the previous appraisal.
![Page 35: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
2. Teacher Evaluation Program (cont.)
• A new model of the national system of performance appraisal for teachers and school leaders (2012/13) was introduced.
• It relies on external and internal appraisal and targets three dimensions: – scientific and pedagogic; – participation in school life and relationship with
community; and – continuing training and professional development.
![Page 36: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
In short, by 2014, Portugal introduced major
reforms to strengthen the teaching profession
at different career points (before entrance,
during initial training, at entry to the
profession, and throughout their professional
careers) to allow teachers to continue
improving and progressing.

1. Education was made compulsory from ages 6 to 18 in Portugal, with comprehensive schooling until age 15
2. Portugal developed Curriculum Guidelines for Pre-school Education (2012), and provided free voluntary pre-primary education for 3-4 year-olds. Enrolment of 5-year-olds in pre-primary or primary education was made compulsory.
3. The Programme to Combat School Failure and Early School Leaving was introduced in 2012. This aimed to support students at risk of dropping out, reintegrate those who have dropped out and strengthen Vocational Training in upper-secondary education.
![Page 39: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
The measures to prevent early school leaving include the following:
•additional study time and more individualised and targeted support for students identified as at risk of failing their school year in the national student assessments in 4th and 6th grade, as well as a possibility to take the exams at the end of the support period
•implementation of information systems to follow schools and students in real time to identify the need for individual support and detect cases of potential school dropout and academic failure
![Page 40: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
4. There was an increase of 33% in the inclusion of students with special needs in regular schools of students due to Government Policies.
5. Individualised educational programmes for children and youth with special education needs (2008) provided specialised support (learning, medical, evaluation) to SEN students in the regular schooling system.
![Page 41: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Due to targeted government intervention for benefit of all students, Portugal has made major improvements across PISA cycles in
mathematics, reading and science, with performance in PISA 2012 around the
OECD average in mathematics and below the OECD average in reading and science.
![Page 42: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Assessment & Evaluation Reforms
- Ms Tracey SkinnerKings, Nad Al Sheba
![Page 43: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Defining evaluation and assessment strategies is important both for improving student outcomes and to develop a better
and more equitable school system.
Student assessment, school evaluation, teacher appraisal and system evaluations
are in place at the national level in Portugal.
![Page 44: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
System evaluations use national assessments of learning
outcomes and international student assessments to monitor performance of
the education system.National examinations in grades 4, 6 and 9
provide information on student learning outcomes.
![Page 45: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
School evaluation includes self-evaluation and external
evaluation.
External evaluation is to take place every four years, and a first cycle has been
completed (2006-11).
![Page 46: An Overview of Team Portugal Reforms in relation to Students Leadership Reforms in Portugal Reforms in relation to Teachers Introduction: Portugal Education.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062311/5a4d1b307f8b9ab05999aed6/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Student assessment includes summative and formative assessments
as part of progress tests at intermediate stages and at the end of cycles and also of national
examinations. Schools organize internal student assessments for
all subjects and the Educational Evaluation Institute carries out external student
assessments for mathematics and Portuguese.
