Portugal

  • Adult participation in learning in Portugal has declined since 2016 and remains below the EU average. European funds are supporting ongoing efforts to reverse this trend, but the PIAAC's poor results in Portugal indicate that there is still much to be done to improve basic skills. Promoting basic skills and digital skills continues to be the two major challenges for Portugal.
