Therefore, and because previous negotiation steps were taken before the aforementioned entry into force, I forward, without promulgation, under the terms of article 136, paragraph 4 of the Constitution, the Government diploma that mitigates the effects of the freeze that occurred in 2011 and 2017 in the teaching career, so that the provisions of the aforementioned article 17 can be effectively complied with, from January 1, 2019 onwards”, the note says.
The diploma had arrived on Friday «in the middle of the afternoon in Belém», after being approved on Thursday (20th) by the Council of Ministers. service claimed by teachers.
