The All4Education team has been in Vila Nova de Gaia City Hall and met with the Councilwoman of Education, Ms. Elisa Cidade.
We had the chance to present our project ideas and ask her some questions about the City Action Plan for Education,
including the innovative programmes "Gaia Aprende +" and "Gaia Aprende +i".
Considering that in Portugal the city halls are responsible for the management of some areas of the Pre-school and Elementary Schools (Pré-Escolar and 1º Ciclo), we got to know really useful information on that regard and were somewhat puzzled to know that the city halls are not responsible for all the areas involving those schools.
We were also able to discuss our ideas in order to achieve a better school system with the contribution of the city hall.
We were happy to know that in our city the City Hall has been taking some measures which favour the learning conditions and equity of access to all the young children,which meets our project ideas.
Nevertheless, Ms Elisa Cidade has shown full interest in cooperating with us, in case our project gets the Ministry of Education's approval to be tested in an experimental way in some schools of Vila Nova de Gaia and hopefully in the future in the rest of the country.
So, this has been a very successful meeting!
Students also have a voice!
All 4 Education!
