Susana Batista

Susana Batista is the president of the Associação de Creches e Pequenos Estabelecimentos de Ensino Particular, an organization representing private early childhood education facilities in Portugal. She has been vocal about the challenges faced by these institutions, particularly regarding government funding and the financial models associated with contracts of association for pre-school education. Batista argues that the government's proposed financial support is insufficient to ensure the viability of private early education establishments, leading to a lack of interest from these providers in expanding their services under the current conditions.
