Brazil moves to strengthen its public education system after Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva signs a new law restructuring federal careers and significantly increasing the number of teaching positions across the country, reports Brasil247, a partner of TV BRICS.
The reform introduces thousands of new roles in higher education and technical institutions, reinforcing the government’s focus on expanding access to public education while modernising the structure of the federal civil service.
Under the legislation, authorities plan to add around 3,800 university teaching posts and more than 9,500 positions within federal institutes specialising in education, science and technology. The initiative forms part of a broader administrative overhaul aimed at improving the efficiency and reach of state institutions.
The law also opens additional vacancies across the federal system, including hundreds of specialised roles in health regulation and thousands of academic and administrative positions in public universities. More than 16,000 posts will support the expansion of professional and technological education nationwide, alongside 1,500 new technical roles within the federal administration.
The legislation also establishes a new federal career track for technical analysts, designed to streamline administrative roles and improve governance capacity. This step reflects a wider effort to modernise public management and align workforce structures with evolving policy needs.
