The mission of the Regional Directorate for Education is to develop, guide, coordinate and evaluate the Azorean education system by promoting its development and ensuring its quality, equity and democracy.
 
We have accomplished many goals in the regional education system. However, we are aware of the huge responsibility that comes with the preparation of children and youngsters for a full citizenship in the challenging society of the 21st century.
 
Our goal is provide Azorean schools with the best possible conditions so that teachers and students may fulfil themselves throughout their educational and professional path. We believe it is possible to achieve better results by investing in the professional development of our teachers in a culture of professional rigour, hard work, critical thinking, creativity and innovation.
 
We will work together with the entire school community as well as with other partners who wish to join us in one of the most important social tasks: the education and training of new generations of Azoreans.
 
This space not only provides information about our education system, but also allows any citizens to contact us, posing questions or making suggestions.
 
All are welcome to the virtual space of the Regional Directorate for Education.
