Brazilian Lawmakers Receive Costed Overhaul of 10‑Year Education Plan

A special committee opened an amendment window ahead of floor votes in both houses.

Overview

  • Relator Moses Rodrigues unveiled a substitute for the PNE 2025–2035 with 19 objectives and a shift from Ideb to targets based on the share of students achieving adequate learning with equity breakdowns.
  • The proposal includes a cost study estimating total spending at 11% of GDP over the decade, with 7.5% from public investment and subsidies and 3.5% from private sources.
  • The text creates a National School Infrastructure Program and fund fed in part by oil royalties and proposes exempting these outlays from the federal spending cap, with the relator citing potential use of pre‑salt revenues.
  • Governance changes require biennial operational plans by federal, state and municipal authorities and INEP monitoring of progress, aiming to tie funding access to performance.
  • Targets raise ambitions across the system, including literacy by the end of 2nd grade, expanded full‑time schooling, higher education access for at least 40% of 18–24‑year‑olds, and new digital and climate education priorities.
