How will this benefit work?
This project will distribute internet through chips, that is, 700,000 chips will be delivered with the 20gb internet package. All students who are enrolled in the Single Registry for social programs (CadÚnico) will be entitled to them. That is, all those who study in municipal, state or public schools can have access.
By the end of this year, it is estimated that around 10,000 chips will be delivered. Their distribution will begin in the cities of Juazeiro, Mossoró, Caruaru, Caicó, Campina Grande and Petrolina. If you meet the requirements mentioned above and live in one of these cities, stay tuned to secure yours and enjoy the benefits it can bring.
