ANDAEP — Associação Nacional de Diretores de Agrupamentos e Escolas Públicas (association of heads of state schools and school groups)

An association of heads of state schools and agrupamentos, the school groups that bring together several schools in one area. It speaks for heads in disputes with the Ministry of Education and in news about enrolment and shortages of teachers and places.

Where you come across it. News about the start of the school year, the allocation of children to schools, disputes between schools and the ministry.
It is neither a teachers' union nor the ministry: ANDAEP speaks for school management, and teachers have their own organisation, Fenprof.
