Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing structural and irreversible changes and transformations in individuals, families, companies, countries and in the world. There will be a society before and after COVID-19. Education is a pillar of sustainability and of society’s future which is also being damaged by this world crisis. Professionals, students and family, the government, the educational system are looking for answers in record time. This modest article aims to share Portugal’s experience, a country marked by a series of successive reforms of the national education system.
