The Regional Government ensures the continuity of mobility support for Madeiran students until 2027, adapting the program to new national standards.
The Regional Government of Madeira has approved, through Regional Government Council Resolution no. 650/2026, the continuation of the Insular Student Program and a new Regulation for Specific Support for Student Passengers. This measure, effective since June 5, 2026, aims to mitigate the costs of air and sea travel between the Region, the mainland, and the Azores.
The new regime requires students to sign a subrogation declaration, allowing AIM, IP-RAM to receive the reimbursement of the Territorial Continuity Mechanism directly from the payment service provider, thus ensuring the necessary financial advance for the purchase of tickets.
The Regional Secretariat for Health and Civil Protection approved the internal redistribution of 420,000 euros in financial support to the Madeira Volunteer Firefighters Humanitarian Association across three support programmes.
The Parish Church Factory of Prazeres will receive a financial contribution of 20,000 euros to ensure the normal operation of the Prazeres Educational Farm in 2026.
The total budget for the construction and equipping of an elderly care home managed by the 'September 4, 1862' Mutual Aid Association has been increased to over 4.2 million euros.
