National Network of Universities and Scientific Societies

The courses will be offered by a wide network of public universities and, in addition, will involve the participation of scientific societies, such as the Brazilian Society of Physics (SBF) and the Brazilian Society of Mathematics (SBM).

Thus, the program not only integrates academic research and pedagogical practice but also directly addresses the demands of ongoing training.

Valuing the Teaching Profession

With this initiative, MEC not only stimulates teaching careers but also provides more conditions for teachers to develop professionally. Furthermore, according to Capes, the program seeks to value the teaching profession and, consequently, provide quality training at universities recognized for excellence.

Thus, by opening these positions in 2026, MEC reinforces its strategy of investing in basic education while also supporting the professionals who work daily in the classroom.
