The Minister of Education has become an impassive extension
of Mário Nogueiras communist demands

The decision of Antonio Costa´s government to cut financial support
currently given to 78 private schools,
has resulted in controversy, not only in the social quadrant,
with parents´ and teachers' demonstrations,
as well as in the political quadrant.

"The association agreements between "private" schools
and the government, has been a public policy instrument of education
for many dozens of years." the most important fact being,
that the country develops an educational system that is
the "best educational model for each child and young Portuguese".

"And the best model is not what appeals most to the communist Mário Nogueira,
trade union leader, who for many years has had NO CLUE about any kind of education,
or what it is like to actually teach,"
reads the statement sent to the newsrooms,
in which the youth wing of the PSD,
stresses that the "best model is not that which most pleases the mayors,
the Minister of Education, nor the directors of the schools
or any other person involved in this controversy."

"How many millions have been spent?
And how many more millions will have to be spent to rip up the "association" contracts
that the socialist-marxist Government now decided to default on?
It's never too late to remind, this proto-communist Government,
that public funds (the tax-payers money)
are not a bottomless pit",
the statement added.
Thus, the JSD makes clear that it advocates
"access without restriction to a free and quality education for all"
and accuses the government of being "lying" to the Portuguese
as the savings that this decision brings to the state coffers,
as cuts would lead to the dismissal of teachers,
which in turn will increase the costs
for the "already shaky Social Security"
in terms of unemployment benefits.
In fact, this practice of school association contracts,
have had it´s origin when the state was unable to provide
in the needs for better and more dignified classrooms,
nor education of quality,
with an extremely high level of early school leavers.
The socialist, always completely unaware of the reality,
went into a school-building frenzy,
in the days of the corrupt free-spending Sócrates governance.
Ignoring the fact that there are each year,
thousands less pupils,
they started spending millions on new schools, new renovated schools
contracting thousands of new teachers,
for whom there weren´t any pupils available.
(on the insistance of Mário Nogueira),
What does the country now have?
Empty state schools, which cost millions of the taxpayers´money,
better and cheaper educational systems in the private sector,
where parents prefer to sent their children,
and thousands of teachers,
without any pupils to teach, but on the state´s payroll,
causing state schools much more expensive to maintain,
than paying association contracts to private schools,
where pupils can still have free education,
where parents have the choice of where their children study,
and much cheaper for the state and the taxpayers.
In the state school system, there are thousands of teachers,
who have zero classes, cost a fortune in salaries,
health benefits, social security and other benefits,
paid for by the tax-payers.
