📋 Tender Overview
This Friday, June 6, the deadline for state and municipal education secretariats throughout Brazil to join the objective of the Ministry of Education (MEC) is to improve the quality of supply and physical and pedagogical infrastructure of basic education schools, especially those in greater vulnerable situation.
Until the year 2026, R 1.3 billion will be invested in the Equity PDDE. For the years 2023 and 2024, R 668 million have been committed. During this period, 28,871 schools were benefited through the initiatives PDDE Multifunctional Resource Room, PDDE Water and PDDE Campo.
PDDE Equity is coordinated by the Secretariat of Continuing Education, Youth and Adult Literacy, Diversity and Inclusion (Secadi) of MEC, in partnership with the National Fund for the Development of Education (FNDE), a municipality linked to the folder. The program emerged in response to the need to guarantee the right to quality education, respecting the sociocultural specificities of different territories and subjects.
The MEC considers that equity is not to offer the same to everyone, but to ensure that each school has what it needs to ensure the access, permanence and learning of its students. The action strengthens the policy of inclusion and social justice in education, contributing to a more democratic and affordable educational system.
The following programs are part of PDDE: Multifunctional Resource Room Program; Water and sewage program in rural schools; PDDE Program Rural Schools: Field, Indigenous and Quilombolas; and PDDE Diversity Program-Special Education, Bilingual Education of Deaf, Youth and Adult Education, Field Education, Indigenous School Education, Quilombola School Education, Ethnic-Racial Relations Education, Sustainable Schools and Youth Education and Human Rights Education.
