The teachers' union Fenprof has accused the government of incentivizing the child storage of children by providing supplementary funding to nurseries that operate for more than 11 hours. The union argues that the state should instead focus on providing conditions that allow families to better balance their professional and personal lives.
Fenprof criticizes government funding for extended nursery hours

Context & Explainers
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.
