Chamber of Deputies Approves PEC 169/2019 Allowing Public-School Teachers to Hold Any Second Public Post

The proposal now moves to the Senate for consideration.

Overview

  • Lawmakers passed the constitutional amendment in two rounds, with votes of 386–15 in the first and 417–17 in the second.
  • The change removes the previous limit that only allowed teachers to pair their role with technical or scientific posts.
  • The text was authored by Capitão Alberto Neto and reported by Maria Rosas, who argued that practical professional experience can strengthen teaching.
  • If the Senate approves the measure without changes, it will be promulgated without the need for presidential sanction.
  • Chamber President Hugo Motta promoted the approval on social media using a modified viral photo of Virginia Fonseca and Vinícius Jr.
