The Connected Education Innovation Program (PIEC) has become the program of the National Connected Schools Plan (ENEC) with the highest recognition among education networks. As well as offering technical support, the program ensures direct financial transfers to strengthen digital infrastructure and incorporate new technologies into learning. ENEC – launched in September 2023 by the Federal Government – aims to offer internet to 100% of public basic education by 2026, consolidating and expanding programs such as PIEC.
We have supported a significant transformation in the school infrastructure in recent years. In 2021, only 3,100 public schools were connected. By 2024, this number had jumped to 60,700 schools across the country. This significant advance reflects the strengthening of public connectivity policies and the technical and strategic support offered to the Ministry of Education (MEC) and school networks by MegaEdu over that period.
