Overview
- Unapei reports that 13% of the children surveyed have no scheduled hours of schooling at the start of term.
- Weekly instruction remains very limited for most: 38% receive under six hours, 30% get six to twelve hours, and only 19% exceed twelve hours.
- In July 2025, 65% of the surveyed children lacked a national student identifier (INE), leaving them untracked by the education ministry according to Unapei.
- Among the associations consulted, 4,410 children are waiting for places in medical-educational institutes (IME), often leaving them at home or in default placements in ordinary schools.
- The government has launched an “examen approfondi” after recent high-profile incidents, while families and Unapei highlight mismatches between notified support and what is delivered.
