João Pessoa municipal student achievements

Overview

Students from the municipal school network in João Pessoa have achieved success in various competitive arenas. In October 2026, students from the Escola Municipal Ativa Integral (Emai) Escritor Luiz Augusto Crispim won first place at the national First Lego League in Rio de Janeiro, qualifying for the 2027 world championship in Houston, Texas. Another municipal school, Escola Municipal Antônio Santos Coelho, secured second place in the ‘Explore’ category.

In November 2026, municipal students also performed well in the II Taça MF Francisco Cavalcanti chess tournament sanctioned by the Paraíba Chess Federation. The competition was held at the Association of Servants of the Federal Institute of Paraíba (ASSIFPB). Renata Sophia Santos Velloso from Escola Municipal Anita Trigueiro do Valle took first place in the under-15 category, while Paulo Leandro Vieira Almeida from Escola Municipal Índio Piragibe earned the runner-up title in the male category.

These results are attributed to the School Chess Project promoted by the João Pessoa City Hall through the Secretariat of Education and Culture (Sedec). Professor Fernando Lopes, the coordinator of the project, noted that the achievements reflect the impact of structured work within the municipal teaching network.
