What CEPAE - Centro de Ensino e Pesquisa Aplicada à Educação does

CEPAE (Centro de Ensino e Pesquisa Aplicada à Educação) is a public educational center within the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), a Brazilian federal public university based in Goiânia, Goiás. The institution functions as a laboratory school providing basic education from Early Childhood (Educação Infantil) through High School (Ensino Médio), supplemented by graduate programs including a Professional Master's in Basic Education Teaching (Mestrado Profissional em Ensino na Educação Básica) and a Specialization in Applied Linguistics. It serves approximately 34 employees and a student body distributed across multiple educational levels, with admissions managed through an annual public lottery system (Sorteio de Vagas).

The institution's core technology stack includes SIGAA (Sistema Integrado de Gestão de Atividades Acadêmicas) for academic management, Google Workspace for education for documentation and collaboration, and supplementary digital educational projects such as the Digital Visual Arts Gallery (Galeria Digital de Artes Visuais), a Life Project Podcast, and online learning management systems. CEPAE also operates extension programs including the Body Culture School (Escola de Cultura Corporal) and an Inclusive Pedagogical Mediation Project (Projeto Mediação Pedagógica Inclusiva) supporting students with disabilities through specialized mediation services.

As a government state entity, CEPAE does not operate a commercial revenue model. Education services are provided free of charge as part of Brazil's public education system, funded through federal educational allocations. The institution's go-to-market approach is non-commercial: student enrollment is managed through public lottery, marketing occurs via official website and institutional social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube), and outreach extends through university-owned media (Rádio UFG, TV UFG). The institution's strategic positioning leverages its affiliation with UFG to offer integrated educational pathways from early childhood through graduate studies within a single institutional ecosystem.
