Expansion of Brazilian federal institutes

Overview

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva initiated an expansion of Brazil’s federal education network by signing decrees for 19 new institute units across 12 states. This development included plans for new campuses for the Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp) and the Federal Institute of São Paulo (IFSP), with the latter expected to offer technical courses in computing and digital audiovisual fields by 2027.

Subsequent developments focused on specific regional infrastructure projects funded through the Novo PAC. In Mato Grosso do Sul, the Federal Institute (IFMS) contracted R$ 7.3 million for a permanent headquarters in Amambai to accommodate approximately 370 students. Additionally, in Rio Grande do Sul, the Federal Institute of Sul-rio-grandense (IFSul) inaugurated its first campus in São Leopoldo, initially hosting students in a systems development technical course.
