The project, whose contract was signed on October 22, 2026 and will run until June 30, 2027, will focus on the Mathematics subject and represents an investment by the Municipality of Amares of 37,500 euros, plus VAT. The initiative aims to reinforce learning, prevent difficulties, and promote academic success.
One of the key aspects is the presence of a Digital Learning Mediator, Beatriz Candeias, who will accompany two weekly Mathematics classes in each covered class, totaling 28 sessions per week, in coordination with the respective teachers.
Through the MILAGE APRENDER+ digital platform, students and teachers will have access to a diverse range of pedagogical resources and tools, including exercises with video solutions, differentiation by level, formative assessment, autonomous study, and a training and summative assessment mode in the format of the national digital tests EduQA.
The project also includes support and training for teachers and guardians in using the platform, as well as regular monitoring of learning progress, allowing pedagogical strategies to be adjusted to students' needs.
The choice of the 5th and 7th grades is due to the importance of these transition moments in students' academic journey. In the 5th grade, the aim is to consolidate essential learning for entry into the 2nd cycle, while in the 7th grade, the intervention seeks to support adaptation to the new demands of the 3rd cycle and prevent academic failure.
The Councilor for Education, Cidália Abreu, closely followed the initiative's development at the Amares School Group. The visit included a meeting with the School Group's Director, Flora Monteiro, and with Mauro Figueiredo, the platform's coordinator, who presented its functionalities. The councilor also visited a classroom.
With this initiative, the Municipality of Amares and the Amares School Group reinforce their commitment to pedagogical innovation and the integration of digital technologies, focusing on the effective improvement of academic results.
