Road safety education at Portuguese schools is a complementary part of the curriculum on citizenship education, and is therefore not a separate subject. The road safety education competency framework, a guidance tool identifying the skills, knowledge, attitudes and behaviours that individuals must adopt to be safe on the road, consists of objectives separated by levels of education. The objectives, which are sub-divided into (i) knowledge and skills and (ii) behaviours and attitudes, aim to ensure that students know and adopt appropriate behaviour as pedestrians, passengers and drivers by the end of secondary school.
