Brazil. – President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva today invited all the rectors of the universities and federal institutes of Brazil to a meeting at the Planalto Palace, the seat of the executive branch.
Minister of Education Camilo Santana will also be present at the meeting, the guest list includes the 70 university rectors and two directors of the Federal Center for Technological Education.
Most of these agencies are members of the National Association of Leaders of Federal Institutions of Higher Education, which sees the four-year reign of the defeated ex-president of the far-right, Jair Bolsonaro, as a setback in education.
The appointment aims to resume the president’s regular meetings with rectors, a practice that was common in previous terms of Lula and former President Dilma Rousseff.
