The Ministry of Education (MEC) launched today (15) the Conecta Rede program, which seeks to offer technological solutions for both management and teaching for federal institutes (IFs), federal centers of technological education (Cefets) and Colégio Pedro II. The idea is to work in a network, so that all institutions have access to innovations and can improve the teaching and learning process. Among the solutions are, for example, systems for remote classes and for offering digital diplomas. According to MEC’s Secretary of Professional and Technological Education, Tomás Dias Sant’Ana, the objective of the program is “to recognize in the institutions all the potential that we have, our greatest pains and how this can be solved together, in a network , causing us to gain scale and scope,” he said. The program has four fronts of action. The first is focused on prospecting and implementing new solutions for professional and technological education. On this front, the idea is to carry out studies on the best technological solutions for institutions, in addition to modeling a solution for hosting websites in a cloud environment for institutions. The second front is the delivery of new solutions to institutions. On this front, some actions are already underway, such as the Digital Diploma – which enables the registration, authentication and preservation of the digital version of undergraduate academic diplomas, and PataformaFor – which offers, among other things, software and online training courses. The intention is for new actions to be incorporated. The program’s third front is focused on training, which will accompany the implementation of actions with studies and diagnoses; and the fourth, aimed at supporting program management, which aims to mobilize the institutions’ management team to monitor all initiatives, from conception, implementation and monitoring of results. Offering networked technological solutions, according to the solutions manager at the National Education and Research Network (RNP), Roosevelt Benvindo, brings benefits such as reducing the costs of initiatives, allowing more institutions to have access to certain solutions and strengthening innovations that often remain only in one institution or another. “There is a huge gain when we work in a network, when we offer a network. It is obvious that contracting 44 institutes is different than each institute contracting itself”, says Benvindo. “The institutions that have solutions that can be shared will have the opportunity for the solutions to leave that island and participate in a large forest”. The program is developed by the Secretariat of Professional and Technological Education (Setec) and by the National Teaching and Research Network (RNP). Institutions interested in participating in the program must fill out an adhesion term that can be requested by email [email protected].
