The Regional Government of Madeira has determined that all teachers who met the requirements in 2025 will be able to progress to the 5th and 7th pay scales.
Through Joint Order No. 39/2026, the Regional Secretariat for Education, Science and Technology and the Regional Secretariat for Finance have established that the percentage of vacancies for progression to the 5th and 7th pay scales of the teaching career is set at 100% for teachers who met the legal requirements during the 2025 calendar year.
This measure, which takes effect on January 1, 2026, covers teachers evaluated with the qualitative rating of 'Good' who met the other requirements demanded by the Teaching Career Statute of the Autonomous Region of Madeira. The decision aims to regularize career progression, ensuring that all eligible professionals can access higher pay scales, in accordance with the provisions of Ordinance No. 185/2018, of June 5.
The Madeira Hotel and Tourism School has been authorised to sign up to 20 service contracts with trainers between 1 September and 31 December 2026. The professionals will support the recognition, validation and certification of skills processes run by the Qualifica Centre.
The Regional Directorate for School Administration has authorised five staff reassignments between educational establishments. The changes take effect on 1 October 2026, with each worker retaining their original salary grade.
Two orders authorise the Madeira Hotel and Tourism School to enter into up to 70 service contracts with trainers. The authorisations cover technological specialisation courses and vocational training, with different validity periods.
