National Federation of Private and Cooperative Higher Education

APESP notes with satisfaction the return to activity of the National Federation of Private and Cooperative Higher Education (FNESPC). Rui Morais, president of the Student Association of the Instituto Superior Miguel Torga (ISMT), in Coimbra, is the new president of the board of this federation. The election took place on May 16 at ISTEC Lisboa.

FNESPC, which had been inactive since 2022, represents 65 academic and student associations from private higher education institutions across the country. The new president highlighted the revision of the Legal Framework for Higher Education Institutions (RJIES) as the major priority of his mandate. He considers it necessary to correct existing structural imbalances, aligning the regime with the constitutional principles of equality, freedom of education, and non-discrimination.

Congratulations and best wishes for a good job!
