Agência para a Gestão do Sistema Educativo, I. P.

The body that runs the school system on the ground: allocating pupils to schools (a task it took over from DGeStE), competitions for teaching posts, and the online platforms through which teachers submit applications and declare that they are available to take on extra hours.

Where you come across it. A child has not been given a school place, a competition for a teaching post, an application for an allowance, combining hours at another school.
Applications are made only through its online platforms (for parents, the Portal das Matrículas); a verbal agreement with the head teacher leaves no official record on its own.
