Fenprof — Federação Nacional dos Professores (National Federation of Teachers)
Portugal’s largest grouping of teachers’ unions. It negotiates with the Ministry of Education, calls strikes and is the first to publish figures when schools are short of teachers or places for children. Its figures reflect the union’s position; they are not official ministry statistics.
Where you come across it. Teachers’ strikes, shortages of teachers and school places, news about the start of the school year.
Fenprof’s figures and the ministry’s often differ: the union counts from its own lists, the ministry from its own records.
