Classes did not start today at the Monchique Schools Group, as the parents do not agree with the way the classes were constituted, following the new rules imposed by the Ministry of Education.
This morning, at the doors of the schools of S. Pedro and S. Roque, there were guardians dressed as a fight and carrying banners with slogans, in protest against the constitution of classes that this year caused the general discontent of the entire community.
The mayor of Monchique, himself a father and former teacher, joined in the protests, stressing that “we will not allow this sad episode to negatively mark the continuity of the excellent work that teachers have been doing for the students of Monchique to have success in learning».
Last week, at a meeting between the board of the Schools Group, the association of parents, guardians and the mayor, the board had been asked to change the classes, but according to mayor Rui André, this is not going to happen. happen "without a superior approval".
This afternoon, a delegation made up of guardians, the Parents' Association and the mayor of Monchique will meet in Faro, with the regional director of Education “in order to seek a solution to the problem of the constitution of classes”.
