What this post is about: The PORTUGUESE GOVERNMENT wants to put AN END to the NATIONAL CONSERVATOIRE!
The Music School of the Lisbon National Conservatoire was launched in the 19th century. It has about 900 (NINE HUNDRED) students nowadays, but will probably have no more than a few 50 (FIFTY) of them next year, because of the recent proposals to reform the system by the Ministre of Education.
ADDENDUM: An online petition against this reform reached 19 143 signatures and was presented to the Assembly of the Republic (Assembleia da República), the Portuguese parliament, on Feb 20th 2008.
