This is a government measure to ensure access for students from public institutions to the virtual universe.

Digital Access

This project aims to promote the virtual inclusion of students.

In this way, facilitating access to various digital resources.

This initiative has the endorsement of the National Education and Research Network (RNP).

Access to the network will be simplified through the distribution of SIM cards and data packages.

This initiative benefits students in the state education network whose families are registered in the Federal Government's Single Registry for Social Programs (CadÚnico).

Implementation Phases

The implementation of this plan will occur progressively.

Initially, priority will be given to primary and secondary school students from public institutions.

Which are already linked to the Connected Northeast Project.

In the municipalities of Caicó/RN, Campina Grande/PB, Caruaru/PE, Juazeiro/BA, Mossoró/RN and Petrolina/PE.

And in municipal schools in locations in the State of Minas Gerais.

In the cities of Araguari, Conceição das Alagoas, Nova Serrana, Prata, Uberaba, and Uberlândia.

Project Details
