TALIS 2024 (Teaching and Learning International Survey) provides an up-to-date picture of the working conditions, well-being and professional development of teachers and school leaders. In Portugal, the data show a teaching workforce that is generally satisfied with its job, but still facing persistent pressures in everyday school life.
The results show that teachers in Portugal are, on average, 51 years old, above the OECD average (45 years), and that 60% are aged 50 or over, which reinforces the challenges of generational renewal and the long-term sustainability of the profession. At the same time, 94% say they are satisfied with their work, a figure above the OECD average (89%).
Despite this strong commitment, the signs of strain are clear: only 13% of teachers say they are satisfied with their salary, 9% believe the profession is valued by society, and 79% identify excessive administrative workload as one of the main sources of stress.
At the international level, the OECD also highlights the growing presence of artificial intelligence in education: around one third of teachers already use it in their work, although seven in ten express concern about the risk of making plagiarism and cheating easier. TALIS 2024 therefore reinforces the need to value the profession, reduce bureaucratic overload, and support a critical integration of technology in education.
