📋 Tender Overview
To present to municipal, state and Federal District education networks how they can take advantage of the training of education professionals, the Ministry of Education (MEC) promoted, this Wednesday, October 29, the training strategy of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes) in planning the New PAR.
In the videoconference, the technical teams from the Secretariat of Basic Education (SEB/MEC) and Capes presented the strategy for integrating the New PAR into the National Basic Education Teacher Training Program (Parfor) and the actions of the Open University of Brazil (UAB), so that the course offerings of these programs take into account the executive plan of the education departments.
During the webinar, the general coordinator of Support for Basic Education Networks at MEC, Joao Cesar da Fonseca Neto, stated that the training of education professionals is strategic for planning the New PAR.
Capes has been with the MEC over these two years thinking and designing how we could strengthen the dimension of training within the New PAR beyond that national strategy of transferring resources. The aim is to connect these points, the demand that the education network has for training, to the programs that the ministry already has. These are historical programs that are already quite consolidated that we are now seeking to integrate, to reach the territories in a more coherent way, he highlighted.
Neto informed that this was the third training transmission of the National Technical Assistance and Training Network of the New PAR (Renapar). The network is a technical assistance and training strategy that the MEC created specifically for the New PAR. We have this powerful and widespread network throughout the national territory, he stated. Capes representatives Lorena Lins and Carlos Estevam also participated in the meeting.
New PAR - The PAR is an instrument for diagnosis, planning and management of basic education teaching networks; and technical and financial assistance from the MEC to states, municipalities and the Federal District, with a focus on improving the quality of education. It is implemented in four-year cycles.
In February 2025, the MEC launched the New PAR (2025-2028), which was reformulated in relation to previous cycles. The new version was created with the participation of education departments and entities linked to the department, in partnership with the National Union of Municipal Education Directors (Undime) and the National Council of State Education Secretaries (Consed).
More than a technical instrument, planning seeks to promote educational justice, incorporating lessons learned from the territory and orienting itself towards the transformation of local realities, with a focus on building collective commitments for equity and quality of education.
Planning must be aligned with the National Education Plan (PNE) and the respective state or municipal education plan, thus strengthening the collaboration regime between entities. This articulation is fundamental to guarantee coherence between public educational policies, avoiding overlaps or gaps in planned actions.
Furthermore, alignment favors the more efficient use of available resources, promotes the achievement of established goals and ensures that initiatives meet the real needs of the school community, with a focus on improving the quality of basic education.
