📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Education (MEC), through the National Fund for the Development of Education (FNDE), passed on to states, municipalities and the Federal District R 14.6 billion of the education salary by August 2025. This month alone, the shipment totaled R 1.61 billion, credited on the 20th. The total amount scheduled for the year is R 35.5 billion.
The resources of the education salary are an additional source of public basic education financing and can be applied to maintenance of schools, school transportation, school feeding and equipment acquisition. The legislation, however, prohibits the use for personnel payment.
The transfer is the result of the collection of companies linked to Social Security, which contribute to the percentage of 2.5% over the payroll of their employees. Of this total, the quota due to each federative entity is transferred directly to specific accounts.
With redistributive character, the education salary is fundamental to balance the financing of basic education, expanding access, ensuring permanence and contributing to the improvement of the quality of education throughout the country.
