SESU/MEC Portaria No. 50 created a regulatory agenda, an agenda for evaluating regulatory results and a social-participation flow for normative acts within the higher-education secretariat.

What Changed?

The order organizes how the higher-education secretariat plans future regulatory work, evaluates regulatory results and structures participation in rulemaking.

Old System vs New System

Before

Regulatory activity proceeded without this 2026 SESU agenda and the June-defined internal process for the covered normative work.

After

The secretariat now operates with the new agenda and stated process for regulatory planning, review and participation.
