Todos Contam competition

The 9^th Todos Contam competition attracted 38 applications to the School Awards, involving about 7,500 students and 65 schools from most districts in mainland Portugal as well as the Autonomous Regions of Azores.

Of the 38 applications received, 5 applied for the kindergarten category, 9 for the 1st stage of primary education, 6 for the 2^nd stage of primary education, 7 for the 3^rd stage of primary education, and 11 for secondary education.

There were also 6 applications for the Teacher Award.

The jury excluded one application that did not comply with the Regulation, as it included initiatives co-developed with financial sector institutions, without involvement of the respective sector association, and therefore did not abide by the principles for financial education initiatives within the framework of the National Plan for Financial Education.
