The Ministry of Education (MEC) released the list of schools included in the "More Teachers for Brazil" program, which rewards teachers from public schools with good performance in the Ideb (Basic Education Development Index) — including those located in more challenging socioeconomic contexts.
In Rio de Janeiro, 177 municipal schools were included in the program, benefiting 3.368 teachers. Each winning teacher will receive a Banco do Brasil card worth R$ 3, intended for the purchase of equipment such as computers, notebooks, or tablets, reinforcing support for their teaching work.
According to the municipal Secretary of Education, Renan Ferreirinha, the result is a cause for celebration and pride.
– This result demonstrates the strength of our education network and the talent of our teachers. It is a source of immense pride to see more than 3 teachers from Rio's municipal schools being recognized nationally. It is an important incentive for them to continue transforming the lives of our children in Rio through education – says Ferreirinha.
