School Network

RedEscola is a space for ongoing dialogue among health education institutions in Brazil, in favor of building consensus around a permanent education that values the transformation of professional practices and work organization and that strengthens social control. The Network is committed to a culture of cooperation, favoring the shared construction and circulation of knowledge and the development of skills within the Unified Health System of Brazil (SUS).

The mobilization of the Brazilian Network of Schools of Public Health is the responsibility of the Executive Technical Secretariat, the Driving Group - composed of representatives of 10 Schools - and an Advisory Council - which involves bodies linked to the Ministry of Health.
