Violence and threats against Brazilian educators and schools

Overview

In response to professional violence in the education sector, the Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC) and the National Observatory of Violence against Students (ONVE) launched a support network for educators. This initiative, coordinated through Fluminense Federal University (UFF), utilizes regional observatories to provide political-pedagogical, mental health, and legal assistance to professionals.

Following reports of threats against federal universities on social media and messaging apps, the MEC has requested a cybercrime investigation by the Federal Police’s Cybercrime Division. Education Minister Leonardo Barchini expressed concern regarding the potential escalation of violence against academic communities.

Specific threats reported by UFF included physical aggression and arson plans following student demonstrations. In response, UFF has requested increased security from local authorities and intensified internal monitoring. Concurrently, the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE) remains under investigation by the Federal Police following a major fire that caused approximately R$ 100 million in damages.
