The National Education System will be voted on in the Senate this Tuesday

After three years in the Chamber of Deputies, the complementary bill establishing the National Education System returns to the Senate. Bill 235/2019, proposed by Senator Flávio Arns (PSB-PR), is the first item on the plenary's agenda this Tuesday, the 23rd, at 2 p.m.

The deputies modified the text in the Chamber of Deputies, which led to the bill's reconsideration by the senators. Among the new features of the current text is the requirement for a national identification number for each student, a sort of "student CPF," and a platform that combines data on schools and educational quality.

According to the substitute proposal by Congressman Rafael Brito (MDB-AL), permanent agreement bodies are planned, with managers from the Union, states and municipalities, in addition to management committees for each state and municipality.

Provided for in the 1988 Federal Constitution as a way to eradicate illiteracy, one of the SNE's proposals is to improve education and promote scientific knowledge.

“Pricing”

Also on the agenda is the project that establishes exceptional procedures for the 30 billion reais in loans and tax waivers allocated by the federal government to combat the socioeconomic impacts of US tariffs on Brazilian products (PLP 168/2025).

The bill, proposed by government leader Senator Jaques Wagner (PT-BA), aims to implement Provisional Measure 1,309/2025. These expenses and tax waivers will not be considered in the primary result targets set out in the Fiscal Responsibility Law and the expenditure limits of the New Fiscal Framework.

PLP 168/2025 was approved by the Economic Affairs Committee (CAE) on Tuesday 16, with a favorable report from Senator Veneziano Vital do Rêgo (MDB-PB).

Argentina

Finally, senators must also analyze the draft legislative decree that updates the Agreement on Linked Border Localities, between Brazil and Argentina , to ensure labor, social security and insurance coverage for civil defense assistance teams and vehicles crossing the border (PDL 931/2021).

The update addresses a gap in the 2005 treaty, which already allowed border populations access to health and education services but did not provide protection for civil servants and vehicles on emergency missions. The bill was approved by the Foreign Relations Committee (CRE), with a favorable opinion from Senator Luis Carlos Heinze (PP-RS).
