Victor Godoy is Brazil’s new minister of education
Starting today (Mar. 30), the Ministry of Education has a new head. Victor Godoy, a Communications network engineer graduated from the University of Brasília (UnB), occupied the post of executive secretary at the ministry.
The move comes after the opening of an investigation on Ribeiro, suspected of favoring the allocation of funds from the National Fund for Education Development (FNDE), with two evangelical pastors acting as middlemen. The case led Ribeiro to resign on the March 28.
