More about the country

Living in lisbon, portugal, what i really like about living in portugal, what i really dislike about living in portugal.

Portugal is an excellent place to live. Outdoors people have beaches, mountains, superb camping and hiking, and a climate among the best in Europe. City people have museums, concerts, medieval villages, and a wide array of cultural activities.

Portugal is a country of contrasts. There are ultra-modern housing developments and shopping malls, with US, British, and German products for sale and first-release movies in English.

There are also quaint villages, breath-taking churches, medieval monuments, and sections of even the capital city in which you will believe you are back 500 years. The night life is active with discos open until the wee hours of the morning.

An excellent meal in a mid-range restaurant will cost about 20-30 euros per person. The stores have everything you could wish to buy, although you will pay a premium for some imported goods. The best food for the lowest prices is found in the weekly farmers’ markets. The public transportation system is excellent with trains, buses, and trolleys taking you anywhere in the country you could wish to go.

Of course, every country has its frustrating elements. Although Portugal is one of the the least expensive countries in Europe, some things are expensive relative to salaries. Portugal is also “wrapped in red tape” (to quote one of our teachers). Getting any documents is a lengthy and frustrating process because the procedure for getting “legal” tends to change regularly and without warning.

• The weather (this year)
• Safety—Portugal is a very safe country. Except for pocket-picking in the tourist areas, the crime rate is low and violent crime is extremely rare.
• The sense of history and the historic sites
• Lisbon itself is very unspoiled, very undiscovered.
• The “laid-back” way of life.
• Lots of wonderful day-trips possible.
• Wide variety of “American” things—fast food and shopping malls, Pizza Hut and Starbucks
• Public transportation is excellent—very easy to get around.
• The “café culture” and long leisurely lunches and dinners.
• The proximity to the ocean—great for swimming, wind-surfing, and “beach-bumming”
• Year-round variety of fruits and vegetables
• Open-Air markets for food, clothes, and housewares
• The drivers and the traffic—very dangerous with buses going in both directions on a one-way street and cars making three lanes out of two.
• The red-tape, indescribable rules and regulations related to visas, taxes, etc. Just as you think you understand and can get something done, the rules change and you have to start all over.
• More and more American fast food restaurants and shopping centers; Pizza Hut and Starbucks have invaded!
• Many items, especially imported one, are expensive relative to salaries.  
• AirBnB and other tourist accommodations make finding affordable housing increasing challenging.
• Too many tourists in Portugal these days!
• Little concept of customer service—the “laid-back” attitude is fine until you need something done.

More about CAISL

Academic program, daily schedule, expectations of teachers, what i really like about teaching at caisl.

CAISL seeks to blend the best from the United States model of education with the best from a variety of national systems. Students take Portuguese as either a foreign or a native language through 10th grade. We have an EAL program for students Grades 1 through 8 and at varying levels of fluency. We are accredited by the Middle States Association (MSA) Commission on Elementary and Secondary Education, and by the International Baccalaureate Organization and operate under permanent license from the Portuguese Ministry of Education.

Almost all of our students go on to university either immediately after high school or after a gap year. This means that we work to challenge the students academically. We don't expect all of the students to achieve A's; we do expect them to learn how to be responsible, to become giving members of the school community, and to push themselves intellectually. Our academic program reflects these goals.

Teachers are actively involved in curriculum writing and there is room for curricular innovation and adaptation at all levels in consultation with colleagues and administrators. Teachers are expected to reach the curricular goals in the ways they deem effective and to communicate their objectives and assessment procedures in a timely and professional manner to students, parents, colleagues, and administrators.

All classes place a premium on communicating effectively and learning the skills of finding and assessing information rather than have having the information handed to them by the teacher.

The IB Diploma Program is available for students in grades 11 and 12 in addition to the American High School Diploma.

Primary/Elementary classes are self-contained for core classes (reading, writing, spelling, math, social studies, science). Specialists teach Portuguese as a Foreign language, Portuguese as a Native Language, Music, Art, Computers, and Physical Education.

Secondary School teachers teach 5 or 6 classes. Classes meet for 90 minutes every other day on an alternating block.  

As part of their regular assignment, teachers also have lunch/recess duty, attend at least one meeting each week after school, and meet frequently with parents, usually either during their preparation periods or immediately after school.

The first class of the day starts at 08h20 and the last class ends at 15h45.

But there’s good news for country bods, too – it’s not just the big cities (like Porto and Lisbon) that are on the lookout for quality TEFL teachers. While employment opportunities can be limited in smaller locations, there is demand for teachers across the country, including in small seaside towns such as Aveiro and historic centres such as Braga and Viseu. If you want to escape the rat race and get out of big city teaching for a more relaxed way of life, Portugal is the place to go.

Where to find work in portugal.

Most jobs will want to interview in person, and will be reluctant to sponsor visas for those coming from further afield. Sending letters of inquiry to schools is unlikely to land you a job unless they’re actually advertising for a position. You’ll find that many smaller private language schools don’t list employment opportunities on their website – you’ll have to look through online job forums at peak hiring times (before the summer, September and January) to find adverts.

Salaries for international school jobs in Portugal can vary depending on several factors, including the level of experience, qualifications, and the specific school. While precise figures may vary, recent reports indicate that salaries for international school teachers in Portugal generally range from €20,000 to €45,000 per year.

It’s important to note that these figures are approximate and can be influenced by various factors. For instance, teachers with advanced degrees, extensive teaching experience, or specialized skills may receive higher salaries. Additionally, schools located in major cities like Lisbon and Porto might offer slightly higher salaries due to the higher cost of living.

Furthermore, the salary packages in international schools often include benefits such as accommodation allowances, health insurance coverage, and professional development opportunities, which add value to the overall compensation.

As salaries can vary significantly depending on individual circumstances and the specific school, it is advisable for job seekers to research and compare salary ranges offered by different institutions. By exploring reputable job portals, contacting schools directly, or connecting with professional networks, teachers can gain a better understanding of the current salary landscape for international school jobs in Portugal.

14.5 National reforms related to adult education and training

On this page, financial reward for graduates, creation of the cyber academia and innovation hub, "border schools project" memorandum, green skills and jobs programme, the qualification for internationalisation programme, valorizar social programme.

Under Ordinance No. 67-A/2024, 22 February and  Decree-Law No 134/2023, 28 December 2023 , a programme for qualified young people was launched. This is aimed at encouraging people to acquire qualifications via a financial incentive to pursue a profession in Portugal. This rewards study in higher education and contributes to improving the incomes of qualified young people working in the country.

For more information, see  Subchapter 14.4 National reforms in higher education.

The government created the Cyber Academia and Innovation Hub (CAIH), a non-profit association, via Decree-Law No. 34/2023, 23 May to encourage an alignment of interests between industry, the business community, higher education institutions and public administration, specifically the Ministry of Defence.

Focussed on implementing cybersecurity and cyber-defence policies associated with national security and defence, CAIH's mission is to act in the public interest, promoting training and exercises, as well as boosting research, development and innovation in the field of cyberspace. By doing so, it aims to support the national and international ecosystem with the knowledge and skills needed by a new generation of professionals, as well as supporting capabilities regarding cybersecurity and cyber-defence.

In addition to defence, CAIH includes bodies in other governmental areas, such as home affairs, justice, economy and the sea, education, science, technology, higher education and digitisation, and administrative modernisation.

On 15 March 2023, in Lanzarote, Portugal and Spain signed the "Border Schools Project" Memorandum, boosting bilateral cooperation between the two countries. The initiative, which targets young people, reflects values like exercising full citizenship, solidarity through cultural diversity and democratic debate, among others.

In doing so, both countries have made a joint investment in the educational, social and economic development of border territories, providing the local populations with quality education. This includes knowledge and skills associated with bilingualism and interculturalism, which are relevant to citizenship, further studies and employability in both countries.

Additional information about this project can be found in subchapter 14.2. National reforms in school education.

Green Jobs & Skills is a vocational training programme in the field of energy ( Ordinance No. 21/2023 , 6 January). Its strategic aim is to provide vocational training and retraining for workers at companies and other employers directly or indirectly affected by the increase in energy costs. In doing so, it seeks to reduce the risk of unemployment, promote job retention and creation, accelerating transition and energy efficiency.

Additional information about this project can be found in Subchapter 14.3. Reforms in Vocational Education and Training and Adult Education.

The  "Qualification for Internationalisation" programme  aims to ensure qualified human resources in the areas of internationalisation and international trade, as well as developing value chains in Portugal, specifically in micro, small and medium-sized companies, boosting the labour force’s professional skills. This programme is designed for citizens aged 18 or over, who wish to obtain vocational training in internationalisation and international trade. Each pathway will last a maximum of 350 hours, with autonomous certification.

As part of the strategic partnership programme in conjunction with the organisations representing the social and solidarity sector, as defined by the Ministry of Labour, Solidarity and Social Security, this vocational training and qualification programme was created to boost management and digital skills as an inclusive factor, as well as encouraging social institutions to develop and adapt to today’s world, responding to the new challenges that these kinds of institutions face on a daily basis. With these objectives in mind, the "Valorizar Social" vocational training programme and the "Qualifica Social" partnership were constituted. These are designed for social bodies, managers and social institution workers, as well as the unemployed. In case of the latter, those not in employment can be trained to work in various social institutions, thus responding to new demands in management and finance, leadership and innovation.

Au Portugal, 200 000 élèves affectés par la pénurie d’enseignants

Après des décennies de “politiques éducatives erratiques et aveugles”, la rentrée scolaire est un casse-tête pour le gouvernement portugais. Des mesures sont annoncées pour tenter d’endiguer le vieillissement de la profession et attirer des jeunes, nombreux à jeter l’éponge en raison des bas salaires et des mauvaises conditions de travail.

“Pour deux enseignants qui partent à la retraite, un seul nouveau obtient son diplôme”, annonce le titre d’un article d’ Expresso sorti dans les kiosques portugais ce vendredi 13 septembre. L’hebdomadaire a fait les comptes et précise : “Lors des cinq dernières années, 7 755 enseignants ont obtenu leur diplôme, et 11 000 ont pris leur retraite ; en 2024, 4 000 autres partiront. Une tendance qui va se poursuivre.”

Aussi, dans son éditorial Expresso déplore que, en raison de cette pénurie – estimée à 800 profs –, “des milliers d’élèves [aient] repris le chemin de l’école cette semaine avec des trous dans leur emploi du temps”. En l’occurrence, “131 000 élèves commencent l’année scolaire avec au moins un enseignant manquant”, annonce le journal, qui précise que “les chiffres évoluent chaque jour”. D’autres médias, comme SIC Noticias , estiment que la pénurie va affecter 200 000 élèves (sur 1,6 million), le double de l’année dernière.
