Character education in Portugal

Around the world, children who can exercise their right to
attend school spend a significant part of their lives within
the education environment. Therefore, schools have a
great deal of influence on children’s development beyond
the academic realm. Given this accessibility to children,
schools have opportunities to help children develop positive
character traits. Each community must determine what role
schools will play in providing character education and what
content would be delivered through character education
programs. This article explores these issues associated with
character education within Portugal, including who should
be responsible for providing character education and
how it can best be transmitted.
