The Regional Government of Madeira has changed the start dates for secondary school classes, aligning them with the national calendar.
The Regional Secretariat for Education, Science and Technology has published an order amending the school calendar for the 2026/2027 academic year in public educational establishments of the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
Order No. 355/2026, published on September 3, 2026, makes the first amendment to Order No. 198/2026 of May 3, which had approved the initial calendar. The change follows the publication of a national order that set the start of teaching activities for Scientific-Humanistic Courses in Secondary Education for September 21, 2026.
With this change, the school calendar for the public network in Madeira is adjusted as follows:
The order came into force the day after its publication, thus ensuring the immediate application of the new dates for the upcoming academic year.
A correction notice updates references to subparagraphs in the rules for selecting trainees and awarding certificates for courses organised by the Regional Directorate for Public Administration. The changes affect points 10 and 12 of the order approving the rules.
Carla Patrícia Pereira Viríssimo Anjo and Magda Isabel Gonçalves Pestana have consolidated their mobility within the category, effective 1 September 2026. Both are placed at the first salary step, level 8 of the Early Childhood Support Technician category.
Candidates admitted to recruitment competitions for operational assistant roles in Madeira’s public schools have been called to sit the exam on 24 October 2026. The venue and time are available on the Regional Directorate for School Administration website.
