Jornada Bett Nordeste 2026 Discusses Technology and AI in Education

The Jornada Bett Nordeste 2026 event, held at the Recife Expo Center, brought together educators, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by new technologies in the education sector. The event, which ran from August 19 to 20, featured over 70 speakers, 50 exhibitors, and a range of discussions on the impact of technology and AI on education.

The event's theme, "Inteligências em Ação: Experiências que Transformam a Educação" (Intelligences in Action: Experiences that Transform Education), highlighted the importance of human, social, and collective intelligence in transforming the education sector. According to Adriana Martinelli, the director of Content at Bett Brasil, the concept of "intelligences" goes beyond AI and includes human, social, and collective intelligence.

Martinelli emphasized that the arrival of AI and other technologies does not replace the role of the teacher, but rather amplifies the possibilities in the classroom. She also highlighted the importance of teacher training and development in preparing educators to work with AI and other technologies.

The event also emphasized the need for collaboration between different segments of the education sector, including public and private schools, policymakers, and industry experts. According to José Ricardo Diniz, the president of SINEPE-PE, the event is a result of the collaboration and commitment of all stakeholders to making education better.
