Epargnez de l'argent, fermez cette école qui ne va nourrir qu'un trafic de migrants d'Afrique qui va augmenter les agressions, vols et viols au Portugal.
Protégez les portugais de ces invasions barbares.Regardez ce qui se passe en France...c'est catastrophique.Vous voulez faire du bien et c'est juste le contraire qui se passe...

All foreigners who legally come to work/live in Portugal are migrants or immigrants, or foreign residents. I am one of them. We should appreciate the fact that we often find a common language with health professionals, even if it isn't our own mother tongue. In turn, we should learn Portuguese if living here long-term.

The refugee problem is not going to go away. From time to time all EU countries take in a quota of refugees. Some of them may have specific physical and mental health issues. It makes sense to train personnel to deal with them.

The article doesn't distinguish between immigrants, and I'm sure the school won't either. They will gladly except the french speaking immigrants fleeing their native countries like France and Belgium. Of course, much more patience and understanding will be needed, because these immigrants don't like to fit in.
