DGE — Direção-Geral da Educação (Directorate-General for Education)
The body responsible for school curricula, exams and the recognition of foreign school certificates (equivalence). Its work is now being transferred to a new institute, EduQA.
Where you come across it. Equivalence of a school certificate, school curricula, Portuguese as a non-native language, national exams.
Do not confuse it with DGES: DGE deals with schools, DGES with higher education. Look for the latest exam materials on the EduQA website; the old website remains as an archive.
