The Postgraduate Program in Education (Master’s and Doctoral degrees) at PPGEd focuses on strengthening research and advancing scientific knowledge in Education through four research tracks concentrating on educational policies, management, practices, languages, curriculum, and school knowledge.

Research forms the core of postgraduate student training at PPGEd. We emphasize full engagement in all academic activities, encouraging ongoing reflection and critical analysis of educational phenomena.

The Postgraduate Program in Education at UESB provides students with comprehensive knowledge aligned with the program’s concentration areas and scientific research methodologies as a foundation for examining socio-educational issues.

Through these efforts and our program objectives, we aim to contribute to new knowledge in Education, transform educational practices, and enhance educational policy development at both public and institutional levels.
