Evaluators are not selected by the MEC, but by a technical committee established to supervise the pedagogical evaluation. This commission has the autonomy to choose from the people registered in the database. The selection considers academic training, the profile for the work that will be developed, the analysis of the Lattes Curriculum and national diversity.

The PNLD serves the stages of early childhood education, primary education and secondary education, in the modalities of youth and adult education (EJA), indigenous school education, rural education, quilombola education and special education, with the provision of didactic, literary and support works for educational practice.
