Abstract(s)
Since its implementation in 2006, Portugal’s full-time schools programme led to a
massive increase of curricular enrichment and family-support activities in public
schools throughout the country. The literature review brings together important
contributions from previous research and assessments of the full-time school
programme, including results of similar programmes in other countries and
particularities of the Portuguese case. The methodological design is outlined,
describing the research questions as well as the variables and categories under
consideration. Drawing on extensive administrative data from all public schools in
the country, the analysis focuses on participation rates and their link to school
location, socioeconomic context, local providers, and educational achievements.
The (moderately) positive correlation between participation rates and educational
success arises as a key finding, for which possible explanatory factors are discussed.
The article concludes with some implications for policy-making and future research
on this topic.
