Viçosa discusses new roles for special education and teacher reclassification

Local authorities in Viçosa are addressing changes to the municipal education workforce through new legislative proposals and career reviews.

Bill No. 10/2026 has been submitted to the City Council to create permanent positions for Specialized Educational Service (AEE) teachers and School Support Professionals. These roles aim to support students requiring special and inclusive education, integrating them into the municipal education career plan to meet evolving national legal standards.

Simultaneously, a commission is evaluating the legal feasibility of reclassifying early childhood education assistants into the teaching profession (Magistério). This discussion follows federal legislation that recognizes certain early childhood roles as teaching professionals. The commission is analyzing professional training requirements, public service entry methods, and financial impacts in accordance with the Fiscal Responsibility Law and the Minas Gerais State Court of Auditors.
