MEC Portaria nº 570/2026 created a working group to prepare a proposal for a Digital and Media Competency Matrix in basic education. The change starts a formal drafting process rather than imposing a final curriculum rule.
What Changed?
The ministry created a group responsible for preparing a proposal on digital and media competencies for basic education.
Old System vs New System
There was no final matrix from this working group because the proposal process had not yet been formally started by the Portaria.
A MEC working group is tasked with drafting a proposal that may later guide digital and media competency policy in basic education.
Who Is Affected?
Student Impact
Students are not immediately subject to a new curriculum rule, but future guidance may affect digital and media learning expectations.
Parent / Family Impact
Parents have no direct task at this stage, but future proposals may affect digital literacy and media education in schools.
School / Institution Impact
Schools do not need to change curricula immediately, but networks should monitor the proposal process.
Teacher / Staff Impact
Teachers may later receive guidance or training if the proposed matrix is adopted or converted into curriculum guidance.
Key Dates
- 2026-06-22: Portaria signed and working group instituted.
What To Do
- Education networks should monitor the working group's proposal and any later consultation or implementation notice.
What To Watch Next
Watch for the proposal text, consultation steps, approval decisions, and any link with national curriculum guidance.
Global Context
The process is relevant for comparing how countries define digital and media competencies in basic education.
