# Portugal’s 2025 Education Reforms: What International Families and Investors Need to Know ## Introduction Portugal’s education system is undergoing a year of transformation in 2025, with sweeping reforms designed to make the country even more attractive for international families, expats, and property investors. These changes are especially relevant for those considering relocation to the Algarve or other regions, as they signal a commitment to quality, inclusion, and digital innovation in schools. ## Key Reforms for 2025 ### 1. Digital Resources and Connectivity The Portuguese government has allocated €15 million to guarantee high-speed internet and digital resources for all public schools. This ensures equal access to digital learning and assessments, supporting both local and international students in a modern classroom environment. ### 2. Language Integration for Foreign Students A new framework introduces 'Level Zero' for students unfamiliar with Portuguese, allowing for gradual integration into the curriculum. Placement tests and tailored guides help migrant and expat children adapt quickly, while language and cultural mediators support families throughout the process. ### 3. Anti-Bullying Initiatives 2025 brings a national anti-bullying program, including anonymous helplines, multidisciplinary support teams, and specialized training for teachers and psychologists. These measures aim to create a safer, more welcoming environment for all students. ### 4. Updated Assessment Models New digital exams and learning monitoring tests are being rolled out, with a focus on early intervention for students who need extra support. The reforms also streamline the recognition of foreign studies, making transitions smoother for international families. ### 5. Emphasis on Inclusion and Support With the number of migrant students tripling in recent years, Portugal is expanding support for disadvantaged and non-native students. School psychologists, inclusion resource centers, and programs for parental involvement are being strengthened to ensure every child can succeed. ## Why This Matters for Investors and Families These reforms not only improve educational outcomes but also enhance Portugal’s appeal as a destination for international investment and family relocation. A modern, inclusive, and digitally advanced school system is a key factor for families choosing where to live and invest. ## Learn More For official details, visit the [Eurydice portal on Portugal’s education reforms](https://eurydice.eacea.ec.europa.eu/eurypedia/portugal/national-reforms-school-education).
