Furthermore, it aims to support the development of emancipatory educational policies and strengthen projects for society that prioritize social transformation, based on ethical principles and solidarity.

The general coordinator of UAB at IFS, Cleberton Soares, emphasizes that the demand for trained professionals to manage courses and structure pedagogical projects in distance education is constantly growing, especially in professional and technological education.
With this specialization, the IFS reinforces its role as a public and quality institution, committed to training professionals capable of acting in this dynamic and challenging scenario.

At a time when distance education is becoming increasingly relevant, initiatives like this from IFS are essential to prepare professionals capable of innovating and significantly contributing to the evolution of teaching in Brazil.
