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.
