In a recent development, the Minister of Education has created extraordinary vacancies for 30 students at the Faculty of Medicine in Porto. These vacancies are intended for licensed individuals who did not meet the minimum score for the special access exam.

However, the Minister did not provide details about how these students were selected, leaving many questioning the process. The Minister also did not specify the reason for creating these extraordinary vacancies.

The decision has been met with opposition from FENPROF, the National Federation of Teachers' Associations in Portugal. FENPROF opposes the creation of these study places at the Medical Faculty of Porto for students who did not meet the minimum score for the special admissions exam for working professionals.

Despite this opposition, the Minister's statements suggest that the extraordinary vacancies at the Faculty of Medicine in Porto are not standard practice. In fact, the Minister stated that "the majority of schools have all their teachers." This statement seems to indicate that the issue of school staffing, as stated by FENPROF, may not be widespread.

The Minister also made statements contradicting FENPROF's statements about school staffing. The Minister stated that he did not regret creating the extraordinary vacancies, despite not meeting the minimum score requirement.

This controversial move has sparked debates about fairness in the selection process and the impact on the quality of education at the Faculty of Medicine in Porto. As more information becomes available, it will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds.
