High School Public Contests Sum More Than 2,400 Vacancies in 2025, With Salaries Up to R$ 5 Thousand in Courts, Police, Assemblies, and Regional Councils.
Brazil is experiencing, in 2025, a new chapter in the history of public contests for high school level. After years of spending cuts and suspension of notices, courts, legislative assemblies, public ministries, and regional councils are resuming mass hiring to address the lack of servers. The result is a historical scenario of opportunities for those who have only completed high school. There are more than 2,400 immediate vacancies already confirmed, spread across all regions of the country, in addition to thousands in reserve lists. Salaries can exceed R$ 5 thousand per month, even for administrative support roles. And the weight of stability, at a time of economic uncertainties, makes these selections some of the most competitive of the decade.
Notably, contests such as the Military Police of São Paulo (PM SP), which alone offers 2,200 vacancies, and the Public Ministry of Amapá (MP AP), with starting salaries reaching R$ 5,861.00. But it doesn’t stop there: notices in state courts, legislative assemblies, and federal universities reinforce the marathon of opportunities for those looking to enter public service.

The notice requires complete high school education, a driver’s license in categories “B” to “E”, age between 17 and 30 years, and a minimum height of 1.55m for women and 1.60m for men.
Applications are open until October 23, 2025, and the tests will be held on November 30. This contest concentrates the largest number of vacancies in 2025 and is expected to register a record number of applications.

The applications are open until October 13, and the tests are scheduled for December 14, 2025. This contest stands out for offering various technical careers, expanding opportunities for candidates with different profiles.
Public Ministries Open Vacancies in the North and Northeast
In addition to the courts and assemblies, the state Public Ministries also reinforce the schedule of high school contests.
In Sergipe (MP SE), there are 28 immediate vacancies and a reserve list. Salaries start at R$ 2,832.80, with applications open until October 21, 2025 and tests on January 11, 2026, in the city of Aracaju.
In Amapá (MP AP), the contest offers 15 immediate vacancies, with 11 being high school level, and a salary of R$ 5,861.00, the highest among all the ongoing notices. Applications are open from September 29 to October 29, with tests scheduled for January 18, 2026.
Regional Councils and Universities Reinforce the Opportunity Map
In addition to major organizations, several contests in regional councils and federal universities complete the cycle:
- CORE SP (Regional Council of Commercial Representatives of São Paulo): 29 immediate vacancies + 771 in reserve lists, salaries up to R$ 4,479.32.
- CREMEPE (Regional Council of Medicine of Pernambuco): salaries up to R$ 5,239.36 for high school level, with tests on November 2.
- UTFPR (Federal Technological University of Paraná): 18 high school/technical vacancies, salaries up to R$ 3,029.90.
- UFRGS (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul): 102 vacancies, several being high school/technical, with salaries of R$ 3,029.89.
These notices offer fewer immediate vacancies, but bring large reserve lists and solid career plans, with benefits and stability.
The Race Against Time Until the Exams
With so many notices concentrated between September and October 2025, candidates will have little time to organize their preparation. The tests will mostly take place between November 2025 and January 2026, creating a tight schedule that demands strategy.
Those intending to compete for more than one contest will have to choose between focusing on a single notice or diversifying their preparation, balancing common subjects (such as Portuguese, logical reasoning, and computer science) with specific content for each agency.
High school contests in 2025 are not just isolated notices, but a national movement to rebuild the public service. In the midst of economic instability, they represent the opportunity for thousands of Brazilians to achieve attractive salaries, stability, and solid careers.
With over 2,400 immediate vacancies and salaries reaching almost R$ 6 thousand, the message is clear: those who prepare now will not only be competing for a job but also for a place in the future of public service.
The race has begun — and in each notice, on each scheduled date, lies the chance to change lives.
