The Ministry of Education reopened the 2026 cycle of the Connected Education Policy for a short completion window. The measure allowed networks and schools that had not finished the required steps to complete pending actions.
What Changed?
A new adhesion and school-indication window was opened so education systems could conclude stages planned for the 2026 cycle.
Old System vs New System
Networks and schools that had not completed the earlier cycle steps risked remaining outside the current operational window.
Eligible teaching networks could complete pending steps and indicate schools until 2026-06-11 through the reopened cycle.
Who Is Affected?
Student Impact
Students in schools included through the reopened window may benefit from connectivity-related actions under the program.
Parent / Family Impact
Parents do not need to apply, but families in included schools may see later digital access or connectivity improvements.
School / Institution Impact
Schools and networks had to complete pending platform actions quickly to remain eligible in the 2026 cycle.
Teacher / Staff Impact
Teachers may be affected later if connectivity actions improve digital teaching conditions in their schools.
Key Dates
- 2026-06-09: reopening announced
- 2026-06-11: deadline for school indication and pending cycle steps.
What To Do
- Networks should verify completion of adhesion steps and school indications in the official system before the deadline.
What To Watch Next
Monitor funding execution, school selection results, and further guidance for networks included after the reopened window.
Global Context
The change shows how Brazil uses national program windows to manage school connectivity and digital education implementation.
