Summary: In this Policy Brief we analyse the turnover of teachers between groups of public schools in mainland Portugal between the academic years 2008/09 and 2017/18. We also investigate whether these movements are associated with the characteristics of the groups and the composition of their teaching staff, for example, in terms of the type of contract and the level of education. In the current context of teacher shortages in Portugal, where stability is a determining factor in attracting teachers to the career, it is particularly important to know the degree of turnover of current teachers in different types of schools. This work intends to contribute to a more detailed knowledge of the turnover of teachers and, in this way, to support public policies that lead to greater stability of teachers in schools.

Summary: In this Policy Brief, we frame the future recruitment needs for new teachers and some characteristics of the current teachers compared with other education systems. The Nova SBE Economics of Education also present some summary statistics on the recent evolution of Portuguese students' achievement, which should be present in the moment of defining educational policies to recruit new teachers. Finally, the Nova SBE Economics of Education lists several education policies that have been presented and considered to mitigate the lack of teachers. We also identify past studies in the scientific literature about similar policies implemented in other educational systems, pointing out the evidence of their impact on the recruitment of teachers and student achievement.

Summary:
We estimate that the size of the illegal market of cannabis for recreational use in Portugal is between 36 and 58 tonnes;
In the event of cannabis legalisation, we estimate the legal market size to range from 23.6 to 39.3 tonnes (conservative scenario) or reach 51.2 tonnes (optimistic scenario);
Fiscal revenue would be between e52.7M to e70.8M (conservative scenario) or reach e151.3M (optimistic scenario);
Legal cannabis for adult use would create between 1 325 and 6 624 jobs. Those jobs would be associated with a total amount of contributions to Social Security ranging between e0.576M and e2.879M, which add to the tax revenues previously discussed;
These results should be interpreted with caution. The assumptions of this work are extensively discussed below. Any policy proposals based on our analysis should reflect the nature of our assumptions.
