Briefings
The Portuguese government announced a 107.5 million euro savings in the 2027 state budget through the organic reform of the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation (MECI). Savings are projected to reach 37.2 million euros by 2029, with the first reduction of 9.7 million euros expected in 2026. The reform aims to consolidate institutional efficiency by reducing central services from 18 to 7 and consolidating the Ministry's structure. However, the government did not include savings estimates for other state reforms in the budget proposal, and the Ministry's success was not confirmed by the Ministry of Education's official classification of the first national exam results.
