Thousands of public school teachers marched in Lisbon to demand higher pay, faster career progression, and better working conditions, reflecting broader frustration with wages and progression timelines.
FENPROF organized the protest, accusing the government of ignoring concerns over low wages, stalled careers, and heavy workloads.
Many teachers cited past promises of career restoration, with some still feeling undercompensated despite movements on the pay scale.
In 2024, a deal restored frozen service for many teachers and raised salaries, but did not include back pay, leaving some gains without compensation.
The union warned of further actions, including a general strike if talks stall, signaling potential escalation.
Portugal's entry-level teacher salaries remain among the lowest in OECD countries, contributing to broader dissatisfaction.
Top salaries can reach about 3,700 euros monthly before tax, but progression to that level can take nearly 40 years, highlighting slow career advancement.
The protest underscored how pay and progression gaps in the public sector influence morale across education and even private schooling benchmarks.
OECD comparisons show Portugal lags behind in career earnings for teachers over a full career, reinforcing calls for reform.
The event followed negotiations on the Teaching Career Statute, with stalled talks fueling the prospect of strike actions.
