Between the final years of the 20th century and the first two decades of the 21st century, education in Portugal underwent several changes. As a result, the situation improved almost continuously until 2015. That was the year when Portugal achieved its best results ever in the international PISA and TIMSS comparisons. It suffered some setbacks from 2016 onwards, as revealed by the 2018 PISA and 2019 TIMSS results. This article analyses the main factors of this evolution, highlighting the training of teachers to perform their tasks well
