A joint Management and Education ministry order expanded the professor-equivalent staffing bank for federal universities and university-linked technical education units and updated technical-administrative staffing positions.

What Changed?

The order increases authorized staffing capacity within the federal university staffing-bank mechanism.

Old System vs New System

Before

Teacher / Staff Impact

Academic and technical-administrative hiring capacity may change where institutions receive additional authorized positions.

Key Dates

  • 2026-06-12: Joint MGI/MEC Portaria No. 38 issued.
