Pedro Freitas, from Nova SBE Economics of Education Knowledge Center, was one of the experts heard during the parliamentary hearing that discussed the recovery of lost learning in the pandemic.

“In order to put the recovery plans into effect, it is necessary to identify the most affected students to know who we really need to reach," he said. In addition, it is necessary to hire and train tutors, and these are processes that "can be extended over time, so it is very relevant to start acting now", he warned. The topic was reported on the Observador. Pedro Freitas also gave an interview to Rádio Renascença on the schools ranking where he defended a change in the criteria for allocation of students and teachers to schools, in order to countering inequalities and “breaking intergenerational education transmissions”.
