The 11 municipalities on the island of Madeira are dedicating a total investment exceeding 3.6 million euros to study support programs for the new academic year. While these programs exist in all local authorities, they show substantial differences in their offerings.
The municipality of Porto Moniz stands out by providing 1,500 euros per student, in addition to covering three trips and tuition fees. This initiative and the disparity in support offered by different municipal chambers are highlighted in the main news of the printed edition of DIÁRIO de Notícias da Madeira on September 22nd.
