📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Education (MEC), through the Secretariat of Basic Education (SEB), held, on Tuesday, February 10, the workshop How Can the New PAR Strengthen the Collaboration Regime?. The initiative is part of the MECs actions aimed at improving educational management and strengthening collaboration between different federated entities.
During the workshop, participants -- representatives of education departments from different states; the National Union of Municipal Education Directors (Undime); Fundacao Getulio Vargas (FGV); representatives of public consortia; the National Confederation of Municipalities (CNM); Education Development Arrangements (ADEs); and the third sector -- debated strategic aspects of educational planning and interinstitutional coordination, taking into account the role of PAR as an instrument to support improving the quality of basic education.
The activity also provided a space for qualified listening and exchange of experiences between managers and specialists, contributing to the alignment of expectations and the collective construction of solutions that meet local realities. For the MEC, permanent dialogue with states, municipalities and representative entities is essential to ensure that public educational policies are more effective, equitable and aligned with the needs of education networks.
Deadline - The deadline for states and municipalities to complete the planning stage of the program has been extended and runs until February 27, 2026. The measure seeks to ensure that education networks have adequate time to review diagnoses, align proposals and validate planning with technical teams, ensuring greater quality and consistency to the information recorded in the system.

New PAR - The Articulated Action Plan 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 through the PAR that the National Education Development Fund (FNDE) transfers resources from voluntary financial assistance from the MEC, including parliamentary amendments, to states, municipalities and the Federal District, for various initiatives, such as the acquisition of buses from the Caminho da Escola Program, technology equipment and air conditioning units; the construction of schools and daycare centers; the training of teachers and education professionals, among others.
PAR is implemented in four-year cycles. In 2025, the MEC launched the New PAR (2025-2028), which is completely reformulated in relation to previous cycles.
