The 1996 law already provided that the curricula of early childhood education, primary education and secondary education should cover studies on the social and political reality of Brazil. The change in the LDB was originally proposed by deputy Renata Hellmeister de Abreu (Podemos-SP) and approved in the Chamber of Deputies in August 2023. The matter was approved in a symbolic vote (single round) in a semi-presential plenary session. The PL received only one vote against, from Senator Hamilton Mourão (Republicanos-RS) and was sanctioned by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
