Today we celebrate National Student Day.

Did you know that this day was promulgated by the Assembly of the Portuguese Republic in 1987?

Besides a day of celebration, this is a day of struggle and homage, since the date is celebrated by the national student movement, in order to remember the difficulties and obstacles that the students faced in the decades of 60, during the academic crisis lived in Portugal.

The date is also intended to appeal to the participation and mobilization of students in favor of a new model of education: an education for and for all. The right to education is a basic right of our society consecrated constitutionally and that requires the involvement of all. The date also reminds us that the student is a pillar of society.
