“Minister of Education, Fernando Alexandre, the guilty person”

“Fernado Alexandre has faced strong political challenge, motivated by structural problems in the start of the school year and the management of evaluative processes.

The contest, before the holidays, for the tests slowed down, because the focus passed to Luís Neves. But now, at the start of the school year, she came back in strength. 

This minister will be known to blame everyone who has to do with teaching except him: blame the families who have booked vacations during exams; blame the directors for the delay in the students' grades; blame the directors for refusing to admit students even if there are vacancies; lack of teachers is due to which many are tested doctor; among others. 

Fernando Alexandre looks like a saint in front of journalists, yet with whom he has a hierarchical relationship – directors and teachers – shows the claws and is accusatory and inquiring 

Fernando Alexandre showed a lack of planning and exaggerated structural changes. He's been warned several times about the exams and now in the case of the students' vacancies.

But the will is to want to change quickly, without doing so with weight and analyzing the pros and cons, forgetting that the Ministry of Education is a giant structure that employs thousands of professionals and manages the entire public education system: hundreds of thousands of students teachers and employees throughout the country.

The pace at which you are making the reforms and restructuring is being accelerated. The impacts of recent reforms have been negative.

The Minister of Education is the minister of the past-guilties and justifications: instead of taking the mistake with simplicity, the focus shifts to personal defense and the search for excuses, which reduces the impact of their recognition.

There was chaos in the classifications, starting the school year and students without classes.

I had a good impression of you, now I don’t.”
