Fenprof has refused to engage in discussions with the Government regarding the teaching career statute, following the exclusion of another union, Stop, from negotiations due to a protest outside the Ministry of Education. Fenprof criticized the government's actions as undermining the right to protest and stated that they would not accept negotiations conducted under such conditions. The union left the meeting shortly after it began, without addressing any agenda items, in protest of the Secretary of State's stance on the matter.

Fenprof is the National Federation of Teachers (Federação Nacional dos Professores), the main public‑school teachers' union in Portugal that represents teachers in pay, working conditions and education reforms. Its criticism matters because Fenprof can organize strikes and mobilise teachers, which directly affects school operations and the implementation of government changes — something families and expat educators should monitor.
