THE REQUIREMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION FOR THE POSITION OF JUDICIAL TECHNICIAN OF THE JUDICIARY OF THE UNION: AN ANALYSIS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN BRAZIL

Abstract

This article investigates the recent requirement of higher education for the position of Judicial Technician of the Federal Judiciary, Introduced by Law No. 14,456, of September 21, 2022, analyzing its implications for the democratization of access to public office. The study examines the challenges faced by the population in obtaining higher education in Brazil, highlighting the inequalities that may arise due to this new requirement. Using a qualitative methodology, based on documentary analysis and data from official bodies, the work contextualizes the evolution of public tenders and inequalities in higher education, in addition to discussing the current impact of public policies aimed at educational inclusion. It is concluded that the requirement of higher education, although its primary objective is to improve the technical and professional qualification of civil servants, presents, at the same time, a significant potential to deepen the existing structural inequalities in access to public office. This scenario ends up negatively impacting the implementation of the principle of equality, which is one of the fundamental pillars of the Federal Constitution, compromising democratic access to public office.
