about two weeks of the start of classes, plucking between 11 and 15 September, associations of teachers and school leaders criticize the fact that is not known what date or dates for the placement of teachers in schools. “Only the insensitivity of the administration to the reality of schools and the country can explain the problems that occur, and sometimes worsen at the beginning of each school year,” lamented this Thursday Manuel Pereira, president of the National Association of School leaders (ANDE).

                 


                      Around 17.00 this Thursday school leaders knew until 23:59 this Friday will have to proceed with the validation of applications from teachers who participate in the competition of internal mobility (whose results are often known precisely, in the last days of August ). On Wednesday, some of these same directors – who drive the 300 schools with autonomy or Territory Educational Priority Intervention (TEIP) – had received an instruction manual for creating offers of school places (for the stock market, which only work later) and the indication that the computer application to do so is only available until this Friday at 18:00.

“At a time that we should be preparing the start of the school year we are busy and preoccupied with things that could be more than made and resolved and to be surprised by the news every minute that passes. The result is that, once again, the schools will open doors with directions and teachers themselves under pressure, all anxious and less rested “also lamented in a statement to PUBLIC, this Thursday, Filinto Lima, vice president of National Association of Public Schools and Groups (ANDAEP).

Despite the insistence of the National Association of Teachers Engaged (ANVPC) and Directors who do not know when they can expect all teachers, the MEC returned this Thursday to excuse himself to reveal the date that will be the outcome of contests taking place, one for the mobility of tenured teachers and another for hiring teachers without bond in the public sector. Again ensure, however, that the “tender procedures (…) are to be processed as scheduled and planned in order to ensure the placement of teachers necessary for the normal functioning of school clusters and schools not grouped.”

“I have no doubt. If teachers are placed at 23:59 on the 10th, the day will be 11 schools to receive students, still residing at the other end of the country. And if the elements of the school boards have to spend sleepless nights to start classes will do so. The question is: does it make any sense. “Asks Manuel Pereira

Also Filinto Lima says he has no doubt that the school year will start,” better or worse, within the dates specified. ” Stresses, however, that this “is not the best way to begin” and emphasizes that, in his view, the situation “is compounded this year by assigning schedules to about 3600 teachers who requested termination and which may not have the processes dispatched to the start of classes. ” “If however go out and have to be replaced, the losers are the students”, stresses, stressing the idea that “all teachers – including the contractors – should participate in the preparatory activities of the school year next week.”

On Wednesday, Israel Paulo César, the ANVPC called for guardianship to place teachers without bond later this month. In a statement recalled that last year, when “the first time this has not happened” educational establishments opened “without many of the professionals essential for its proper working teachers.”
