Pé-de-Meia Licenciaturas

The Ministry of Education (MEC) has introduced a transformative program to support future educators.

The Pé-de-Meia Licenciaturas initiative offers a R$1,050 monthly grant designed to ease the financial burden of undergraduate students pursuing teaching-related degrees.

Applications for this opportunity close today, January 21.

What is the Pé-de-Meia Licenciaturas Program?

This program encourages teacher training by providing financial aid to students in fields such as:

  • Mathematics
  • Physics
  • Chemistry
  • Biology
  • History
  • Geography

The initiative not only aims to alleviate financial stress during studies but also to ensure a brighter future for Brazil’s education system.

It’s following another measure the government organized for jobs in the healthcare sector, the SES SE Competition.

To qualify for the program, applicants must:

  1. Have participated in the National High School Exam (Enem) and scored at least 650 points.

Students who meet these criteria can enjoy the financial benefits of this program, which goes beyond monthly payments.

I am Milos Nikolovski, a journalist with an insatiable curiosity for global affairs, cultural intersections, and the stories that define our time. My work spans continents, covering the pulse of international relations, the evolving dynamics between the United States and Brazil, the complexities of politics, and the deeper narratives found in travel, food, and everyday life. Every story I tell comes from direct experience, firsthand conversations, and an unfiltered approach to truth. I do not chase sensationalism or empty headlines. My focus remains on substance—on the issues that shape nations, the policies that drive decisions, and the cultural shifts that reveal where societies are headed. Whether dissecting diplomatic strategies, unraveling the economic forces linking Brazil and the United States, or walking through the markets of São Paulo to uncover the hidden layers of a city’s identity, I believe in journalism that informs and challenges perspectives. Travel plays a crucial role in my work, not as an escape but as a means to engage with the world. The places I visit are not vacation spots; they are living, breathing spaces filled with voices, struggles, and triumphs. Whether exploring the political landscapes of Latin America, tracing historical legacies in Europe, or uncovering the latest food revolution in an unexpected corner of the world, my mission remains the same—to document, to report, and to bring forward stories that matter. Beyond borders and breaking news, my work is guided by core values: honesty, independence, and accessibility. Journalism must be fearless, unfiltered, and unbound by external pressures. I write for those who seek more than surface-level narratives, for those who value depth over distraction, and for those who refuse to settle for anything less than the full picture.
