São Paulo and Goiânia launch large municipal education hiring drives

The São Paulo municipal government signed an order authorising a public competition to recruit 4,500 new education professionals. The hiring plan includes 1,500 teachers for secondary and high‑school levels and 3,000 for early‑childhood and primary education, with candidates required to pass a practical exam, a psychological assessment and a six‑month training course. São Paulo's education network already employs more than 160,000 staff, including 112,000 teachers, across over 4,000 schools.

In Goiânia, the city hall published a list of 101 candidates who passed the Pedagogy exam for the role of Professional of Education II – Pedagogy. The candidates have a 30‑day window to submit required documents at the municipal service centre, after which their files will be reviewed and successful applicants will be officially named in the city’s official gazette.

Both initiatives aim to expand municipal teaching staff and strengthen the public education system in Brazil’s major cities.
