Brazil Rolls Out National EJA Registration as 50,000 New Seats Open

Overview

• The Education Ministry launched CadEJA to let anyone 15 or older request a spot in Youth and Adult Education and to record class demand and supply across Brazil.
• After filling out an online form with ID and contact details, applicants receive a protocol number and wait for their local education office to confirm a vacancy and complete enrollment.
• Fundação Cecierj opened 50,000 places for fundamental and high school levels, using online pre‑registration followed by in‑person confirmation, with no set deadline for sign‑ups.
• Cecierj requires a minimum age of 15 for entry and 18 or older for the high school track, and it lists teaching hubs across Rio de Janeiro state.
• Municipal systems such as Rio das Ostras keep EJA enrollment open for 2026 and offer short vocational courses at the same schools, while CadEJA, part of the Pacto EJA, provides web guidance and a 0800 help line.
