An Approximation of Systems Analysis to Secondary Education in Portugal

Statistics on secondary-school enrollment in the 17 districts of Portugal for 1974/75 demonstrate regional imbalances & the lower enrollment of women, especially in technical schools. Indices for each district are presented & the regions are compared. In general, technical enrollment is higher in the south & lower in the north, with minor exceptions. The districts of Lisbon & Coimbras & those in the south, except Beja, have higher rates of enrollment than the national average, while the districts of Santarem, Portalegre, Porto, & Braganca have average or slightly lower enrollment; the middle of the country is below national average. Technical, complementary, & F enrollment is further broken down by blocs to arrive at a typology of districts (I-III). Technical enrollment has generally increased. 11 Tables, 7 Maps.
