The innovation ecosystem dedicated to education in Brazil has been strengthened, but it is still far short of the needs of society and the potential that technology brings. The imperative of transformation is articulated by urgency—it is necessary to accelerate innovation—and by the comprehensiveness. Brazil's strategy of public financing to education would include new edtech products and services previously tested, validated, and priced by reverse auction made available in a national marketplace.

The training of teachers, managers, and staff would be an obligatory part of the adhesion, being primarily online. Students and their families would be included as potential users by a blockchain approach.
