Portuguese Teachers Association admits failure of AO90 – Aventar
Introductory note: there are free hyperlinks at the end of the text.

Because there are Brazilian students who have been fined in classifying Portuguese writing exams according to the variant they have learned, the Association of Professors in Portugal (APP) defends creation of a working group to discuss the acceptance of Portuguese varieties in examinations.

I don’t see anything wrong with thinking about this issue, because we have to protect the weakest link, which in this case is the immigrant student. There will be a few issues to consider, but the concerns are legitimate, although I don’t think the problem is that easy to fix. However, something else brought me here today.

It is worth remembering that the APT has always been on the side of defending the so-called spelling convention (AO90), that eighth wonder of the world, which, according to its various apostles, would contribute to the much-desired “spelling unification”. it will solve problems that never happened. Solving problems that don’t exist is actually a typical Portuguese characteristic.

With AO90, writing becomes unique. Evanildo Bechara even stated in the company of many that “in any area where it is used, be it in Brazil, Portugal or Africa, the Portuguese language will only be written in one way. This means that a book edited in Portuguese can travel to all these countries because the spelling is the same.”

Thus, we are forced to conclude that the problem raised by APP should not exist, it will be solved by AO90. There may be those who want to disguise themselves by diverting the topic into syntactic and lexical issues, but the truth is that there are still many orthographic differences (to repeat the synthesis: AO90 extinguished some differences, preserved differences and – a miracle of unification! – created differences that are not It was).

In recent years, many Brazilian students have entered Portuguese schools who, even using AO90, write with Brazilian spelling, Brazilian vocabulary, Brazilian syntax. In the national examinations to which they are subjected, classifiers (or, as they say, proofreaders) are not instructed to identify these differences (because these differences, as it were, do not exist, since we have allegedly identical spelling for everyone).

So the APP initiative is welcome. This association simply lacks the honesty to admit that this issue is further proof that the AO90 is a disgraceful failure. All you need is honesty.


The Portuguese Teachers’ Association acknowledges that there are problems with AO90.

Maestro de Braga is the first Portuguese in the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba.

Maestro Filipe Cunha, Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Braga, has been invited to conduct the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra, as announced today.

According to a statement sent by O MINHO, “he will be the first Portuguese conductor to conduct this orchestra in its entire history.”

In addition to this orchestra, the maestro will also work with the Lyceo Mozarteum de la Habana Symphony Orchestra.

The concerts will take place on 4 and 12 March 2023 at the National Theater of Cuba in Havana.

In the words of the maestro, quoted in the statement, “these will be very beautiful concerts with difficult but very complex pieces” and therefore he feels “very motivated”.

From the very beginning, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will be performed by an Italian pianist (Luigi Borzillo), whom the maestro wants to bring to Portugal later this year. In the same concert, Mendelshon’s First Symphony will be performed.

Then, at the second concert, in the company of the Mexican clarinetist Angel Zedillo, he will perform the Louis Sfora Concerto No. 2. In this concert, the maestro also conducts Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony.

“This is an international recognition of my work. An invitation that I accept with humility and great responsibility. I was surprised to learn that I would be the first Portuguese member of the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. This is a very great honor,” the maestro said in a statement.

“I take with me the name of the city of Braga and Portugal with all the responsibility that goes with it, and I hope to do a good job there, leaving a good image and putting on great concerts. These will be very special concerts because, in addition to performing pieces that I love, especially Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I will be directing two wonderful soloists who are also my friends. It will be very beautiful,” concludes Filipe Cunha.
