Government Funds Schools’ Earthquake Repairs, Arts Funding Lacking

The Portuguese government is changing how it spends money on school repairs. They want to control costs, especially with expensive materials. Schools are also facing problems with old funding.

The government is now prioritizing seismic reinforcement and window repairs in schools. They are limiting how much money municipalities can use for these projects. Despite this, the government announced increased funding for arts education. However, schools in Lisbon are struggling because their funding hasn't been updated in 15 years. This creates a problem for schools preparing for the new school year.
