Coalition for Full-Time Schools for Teenagers
Students from the Recife municipal education network (PE).The Coalition for Full-Time Schools for Teenagers was established in 2024 to strengthen the Middle School, uniting organizations, specialists, and public education networks behind the expansion of full-time schools.
In 2025, the Coalition shifted toward execution: embedding sustainable full-time school policies that blend integrated curricula, extended schedules, and specialized educator training. Supported by technical partners, including Reúna Institute, the coalition fosters cross-sector alignment to broaden educational opportunities for adolescents nationwide.
