The article analyzes the effects of the Territorial Educational Priority Intervention Policy (TEIP) in Portugal, as a measure intending to promote learning and school success, based on the characterization of the political framework and perceptions of teachers of basic and higher education, involved in this policy. Methodologically, the study follows a qualitative orientation that used legal documents and reflective interviews with three management teachers of the Metropolitan Region of Oporto school clusters and three higher education teachers in the education area with active intervention in curriculum management policies and in the TEIP program. It is possible to conclude that the TEIP is a policy of positive discrimination aligning, in its principles and purposes, with the concepts of social and curricular justice. In the context of schools / school clusters, it is promoting changes and capital gains in the ways teachers and principals think and act. The improvements in school success have been happening gradually and coexist with limits that go beyond school. In these, however, tensions are identified between the dimension of caring, protecting, promoting personal and social development and promoting school success.
