The São Paulo State Education Secretariat (Seduc-SP) authorized a new public examination to recruit 5,000 teachers for elementary and high school levels. The plan consists of 3,000 permanent 40-hour weekly positions and 2,000 positions with 25-hour weekly schedules. This recruitment follows a previous initiative in late 2023 that hired 15,000 teachers. This recruitment initiative has met with opposition from educators and political figures. The Apeoesp union organized protests against potential school closures, specifically targeting the elimination of second-year high school night classes by 2027, which protesters claim harms working students. Additionally, state deputy Professora Bebel criticized the decision to hold new exams, noting that over 100,000 candidates from previous examinations are still awaiting summons. Apeoesp has initiated legal action to compel the government to extend the validity of prior teacher exams to address the existing pool of qualified professionals.
