Amidst the national news this Sunday, various media outlets highlighted diverse topics, ranging from higher education to social and sports issues.
The newspaper Público drew attention to the social disparity in access to higher education, stating that 'the social elevator has died,' and noted that only 3% of classified students belong to the poorest classes. Furthermore, the same outlet mentioned that polytechnics and universities are requesting more actions to reduce the persistent inequality.
Other articles in Público addressed topics such as the carbon economy of railways, with Neves Corvo saving 4 thousand tons of CO2 annually, and the approval of 598 spots for individuals with mental illnesses.
Jornal de Notícias also focused on higher education placements, pointing out that the Porto and Minho region concentrates seven of the ten courses with the highest averages. The newspaper also covered issues such as warnings about the increase in cases of combined use of sex and drugs (Chemsex) and regional criticisms of speed limits on the A25.
In the sporting sphere, events were reported in Porto, such as a danger on the Circunvalação, and reports on athletes, such as Rita Andrade, who is on vacation.
A significant highlight from Correio da Manhã was the situation of an elderly woman, Maria da Conceição, aged 95, who went nine months without receiving her benefits due to a computer error made by Social Security. Social Security assumed the fault and guaranteed the payment of the owed amounts.
