School teachers demonstrate for better salaries and working conditions in Lisbon, Portugal, February 11, 2023/REUTERSPix: Thousands of teachers from across Portugal marched through the streets of Lisbon on Saturday in the latest round of protests demanding higher pay and better working conditions.
“This is probably the biggest demonstration of teachers” in Portugal, said FENPROF secretary general Mario Nogueira. “Miserable salaries, discriminatory appraisals, inhuman schedules... this is the reality of our profession today,“ added the 64-year-old. Teachers are calling for an improvement in the terms of tenure and career progression, and salaries to keep pace with inflation.“This working time must be recognised,“ said Maria da Luz Ribeiro, an English teacher who worries about “the future of teachers and schools in Portugal”.
