Introduction and Table of Contents

This site is a partial translation into English of the original site in Portuguese, "Educação em Portugal, Metas e Medidas". Talking to our foreign colleagues, we found that the school systems of at least several more European countries, such as Spain, Italy and France, suffer with the same symptoms as the Portuguese school system, therefore, a wider European discussion of these issues is well justified.

Note that the reader comments are only allowed at the pages of the respective Chapters, but not at this title page.
