the article examines the Portuguese Government’s written order n° 1 –H/2016, of 13 April, which prompted a restriction regarding students eligible for charter schools providing private and cooperative education under association contracts. In fact, art. 3°/9 innovatively provides that “As far as financial support granted by the State is concerned, the students eligible for charter schools providing private and cooperative education under contracts of association correspond to the geographic location covered by the respective contract’. In other words, priority criteria would apply, although without freedom to choose the education project of the schools concerned — in Case there should be any vacancies in them for other students interested (some of them even residing in nearby communities) — unlike the established practice over the past few years in all schools, state schools included, within their available capacity. As a result of the new written order, a discriminatory regime has been established by for charter schools students.
