Santana Youth Centre will continue to serve as University of Madeira student accommodation until 13 December 2026. The extension is intended to provide housing during the transition to the new residence at Quinta de São Roque.
The Regional Government has extended the use of Santana Youth Centre as a University of Madeira (UMa) student residence until 13 December 2026. The decision is set out in Regional Government Council Resolution No. 989/2026, dated 19 October.
The extension allows the centre to continue accommodating university students from São Tomé and Príncipe enrolled at UMa for the 2026/2027 academic year, until the conditions are in place for their transfer to the Quinta de São Roque University Residence. The new facility is nearing completion, but still requires final works and procedures before it can open.
The measure also covers young people from São Tomé who have completed their studies but remain in the Region for reasons related to the certification of their diplomas. According to the resolution, continuing to provide accommodation avoids an interruption in support during this transition period.
Students staying at the centre must comply with its internal rules. If work on the new residence is not completed, the allocation period may be extended again. To do so, UMa must request a renewal at least 30 days before the current period expires.
Santana Youth Centre was initially assigned for use as a university residence for the 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 academic years, and was subsequently extended for 2024/2025 and 2025/2026.
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.
