The Ministry of Education (MEC), in partnership with Capes, launches 7.8 thousand free master’s and doctorate positions for public basic education teachers throughout Brazil. The objective is to strengthen ongoing training and value the teaching profession, offering opportunities in courses recognized for excellence.

Enrollment begins in September and runs until November 2026. Interested parties must register online on the Capes website, and the courses will be offered at public higher education institutions, either in person or in a hybrid format. In total, there are 7,584 positions for professional master’s and 228 for doctorate, available only in the field of History.

Areas Covered by MEC

The program encompasses ten master’s areas and one doctorate area, including:

  • Biology
  • Physics
  • Mathematics
  • Chemistry
  • Sociology
  • Philosophy
  • Arts
  • Literature
  • Inclusive Education
  • History (Doctorate)

Thus, MEC addresses different fields of knowledge, always focusing on enhancing teaching practices.

Enrollment Calendar 2026

  • September: Biology, Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry
  • October: Sociology, Philosophy, Arts, Literature, Inclusive Education, and History
  • November: Doctorate in History

Each candidate must consult the specific announcement, as the rules and requirements may vary between programs.

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.
