Portugal Online Education trends

Online education trends found in Portugal have not been very steady in recent times. The government has recently implemented a range of programs and scholarships to help and encourage students to study. However, these have only been to study physically in the colleges and universities, rather than online. Although there have been some statistics of individuals learning online from other online universities and colleges from around the world, this is not a common practice yet.

Education has always been a high priority for the Portuguese government and society, and formal education was introduced in the country even before its independence in the 12th century. Initially religious schools were the only source for education in Portugal, but later primary and secondary schools were established, and the University of Coimbra, one of the oldest universities in the world, was established in 1290.

Basic education has been compulsory in Portugal since 1911. Basic education provided in Portuguese schools continues for 8 years and are is divided into stages. After completion of 3 years of courses a Certificate or Diploma is awarded. Secondary education is given over 3 years, and is provided at all private, public and cooperative schools. The courses are available in two types: general and technical or vocational education.

 Online Education

President Barrack Obama was looking for ideas on Online Education to help make American colleges less expensive and more productive? a meeting with college leaders this week. Could something comparable be in the works to push reform in higher online education? Race to the Top started in 2009, when the administration was looking for smart ways to spend stimulus dollars. Those related challenges are front and center for everyone from Occupy protesters to business leaders concerned about American competitiveness and expert opinion on what Obama or any president can do about the problem varies, from very little to quite a lot on online education. Where you stand depends on where you think the cause of online education lies - with inexorable economic forces that make it virtually inevitable college costs will rise faster than inflation, or with inefficiencies and shortcomings in higher online education itself that government policy could help correct. Still, the federal government spent $50 billion in grants to college students last year and more than $100 billion in loans, not to mention the billions more in aid to states and research in online education adding up lot of carrots. The online education structure also helped at least dilute, though not avoid, criticism that Washington was stepping on the states' toes.
