desafios para o novo Plano Nacional de Educação

Abstract

The text seeks to discuss issues related to the schooling and training of Brazilian teachers, which is an important guideline of the National Education Plan. We chose to carry out documentary research, based on data from the Statistical Synopsis of Basic Education 2023. We used descriptive analysis to process the data collected. Our results show that: 1) Brazil has just over 2 million teachers and two-thirds (2/3) of them are in the Southeast and Northeast regions of the country, the majority are women who work in urban municipal public schools in the early years of elementary school; 2) the data shows an increase in the percentage of teachers with higher education in recent years, but still short of the target 15 stipulated in the PNE; 3) the adequacy of this higher education course with the area in which it teaches has also increased in recent years, but with large gaps between the different networks, schools and stages, directly affecting compliance with goal 15 of the PNE; and 4) the number of teachers with postgraduate degrees has increased and the country is very close to achieving goal 16 of the PNE, but there are significant distortions when analyzing the country's federative units.
