📋 Tender Overview
Following the adhesion cycle between May and June, a new list of state and state education schools and public schools will have a chance to join. The initiative of the Ministry of Education (MEC) provides investments of R 1.3 billion by 2026 to improve the quality of supply and physical and pedagogical infrastructure of basic education schools, especially those in the most vulnerable situation. The deadline for the new adhesion cycle runs until August 11th.
Opddequity 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.
In the first cycle, 100% of state networks, 98% of municipal networks and 92% of eligible schools joined the Equity PDDE. This means over 25,000 schools, among the most vulnerable in the country, receiving federal support for infrastructure and pedagogical projects.
Now MEC will allow the adhesion of 3,000 new schools that were not eligible for the initial prioritization. The new list obeys the same technical criteria of the first cycle, according to Resolution No. 17/2024 of FNDE/MEC. In this number are contemplated all indigenous schools that constituted executing unit and had not joined in the first cycle, as well as schools with bilingual education classes that had not yet made adhesion.
Adhesion can be done by means. Schools that are eligible for more than one program should also complete adhesion on all opportunities on time.
Equity - PDDE Equity allocates supplementary resources to public schools of basic education that serve historically excluded populations. The objective is to strengthen educational equity, promoting better supply conditions, infrastructure and quality of teaching in contexts of greater social and educational vulnerability.
The program consists of three major fronts: PDDE Multifunctional Resource Room (SRM), which supports inclusive special education; Water PDDE, sewage and infrastructure in the schools of the countryside, indigenous and quilombolas, which promotes structural improvements in these units; and PDDE diversities, which aims at the implementation of the National Curriculum Guidelines in ten thematic lines.
In this cycle, resources are intended for modalities: Special Education; Field Education; Indigenous School Education; Quilombola School Education; Education for ethnic-racial relations; Bilingual Education of Deaf; and Youth and Adult Education.
