Core offering

Undime is a nonprofit civil association representing municipal education managers (secretaries and directors) across Brazil's 5,570+ municipalities. It provides policy advocacy at the national level, organizes national and regional forums, publishes technical documents and periodicals, and operates digital platforms (Conviva Educação, Busca Ativa Escolar) to support municipal education management. The organization operates through 27 state sections covering all Brazilian states and the Federal District.

Product overview

Undime (União Nacional dos Dirigentes Municipais de Educação) is a national association of municipal education directors in Brazil, operating as a membership organization rather than a technology product company. Its core offerings include the Conviva Educação platform (an educational management support tool), the Busca Ativa Escolar program (school dropout prevention), TV Undime (a video archive of institutional events), and the Revista Educação Municipal (annual publication). Additional offerings consist of national and regional forums for professional exchange, technical publications (Caderno de Educação Municipal, Notas Técnicas), and a digital self-assessment tool for teachers (Autodiagnóstico de Saberes Digitais Docentes). These offerings are organized as a portfolio of platforms, programs, and publications serving the professional development and policy coordination needs of Brazil's municipal education leadership.

Others

• ABMES (Associação Brasileira de Mantenedoras de Ensino Superior): ABMES is the national association of higher education institutions in Brazil. While Undime focuses on municipal basic education and ABMES on higher education, both are membership-based national education associations that advocate with MEC and engage in policy coordination, providing a structural peer for association-based education governance.
• CNTE (Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores em Educação): CNTE is Brazil's national federation of education workers' unions. While Undime represents education managers (employer-side) and CNTE represents workers/employees, both operate as national membership organizations engaging with MEC on public education policy, making CNTE a natural counterpart in the same education-policy ecosystem.
• Education International: Education International is the global federation of teacher and education employee unions, and its Latin American regional body often coordinates with national associations like Undime on education policy. It provides an international peer for membership-based education governance and convening at scale.
• ANPEd (Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Educação): ANPEd is the leading Brazilian academic association for graduate programs and research in education. It shares Undime's focus on the Brazilian education ecosystem and national-level convening of education stakeholders, though it sits more on the research/academic side rather than the municipal-management side.

Regional players

• NAESP (National Association of Elementary School Principals): NAESP is a US-based national membership association for elementary school principals. While it operates in a different national context (United States, not Brazil), it parallels Undime's role of representing and developing school-system leaders — making it a structurally similar, regionally separate peer for school-leader representation.

Direct peers

• Consec (Conselho Nacional de Secretários de Educação das Capitais): Consec represents education secretaries of Brazilian state capitals, an overlapping subset of Undime's municipal membership. Listed as an Undime partner, Consec shares Undime's function of coordinating municipal education policy at the national level but with a tighter focus on capital cities.
• Consed (Conselho Nacional de Secretários de Educação): Consed is Brazil's national council of state education secretaries — the state-level counterpart to Undime's municipal-level representation. It is explicitly listed as a major Undime partner, and the two co-coordinate national education policy. They share the same constituency profile (public education managers), the same advocacy mission, and the same federal government interface.
