It is recalled that the Ministry of Education determined that schools with fewer than 20 students finished this year. An exception occurred in Mação with this school in Cardigos because, according to the municipality Maçaense, the measure would "deepen the isolation of the parish."

The government's move was not accepted by the responsible local authority that has always expressed its "reluctance and non-compliance" with a decision they took to be a "setback in decades of struggle for establishing population." "We understand do not agree with this suggestion and do not fulfill the conditions that carry out this measure," explained Vice President of Mação Vasco Estrela in statements to Radio Constavel adding that "the host schools are not now equipped to accommodate more children and understand they are best installed where they are.
