IGEC — Inspeção-Geral da Educação e Ciência (inspectorate of education and science)
The inspectorate that handles complaints about schools and universities, both state and private.
Where you come across it. A dispute with a school, a disagreement over fees at a private school, a complaint about a university.
First talk to the class tutor and the head teacher, and contact the agrupamento: the inspectorate takes up a case when it could not be resolved locally.
