Eace director-general Flávio Santos stated that reaching this milestone demonstrates the ability to structure a national operation capable of overcoming significant infrastructure barriers. To support connectivity in remote areas lacking traditional areas, solar power grids, the program has systems have been installed solar generators in 1,573 schools, primarily in the North region. Following this progress, 1,580 schools to ensure both connectivity and general electricity. Connectivity is achieved through various technologies: fiber optics account for 72% of connections, satellite for 21.2%, and radio for 6.1%, with the remainder using hybrid solutions or Fixed Wireless Access (FWA).
