This study assesses compliance with Goal 6 of Brazil’s National Education Plan (PNE) regarding expanding full-time schooling (ETI) in the public system over 2014–2024. It is descriptive, and comparative documentary analysis based on secondary data from the PNE Monitoring Dashboard (INEP/MEC), focusing on the official indicators 6A (share of enrollments in full-time schooling) and 6B (share of schools with ?25% of students in full-time education). Four metrics are operationalized: level, acceleration measured by the compound annual growth rate (CAGR), urban–rural and regional gaps, and convergence/divergence; additionally, a level × acceleration typology (quadrants) is applied. Results indicate expansion with regionally differentiated speeds, combining catch-up and plateau trajectories; incomplete urban–rural (non)convergence over the period; and greater subnational heterogeneity in 6B (state-level dispersion in 2024). A joint reading of 6A and 6B shows that increasing the number of eligible schools does not translate into proportional enrollment growth; effectiveness depends on the scale and intensity of implementation. Policy implications include combined targets (level, CAGR, and 6A/6B), territorial focusing, improving the pedagogical use of time, and financing/governance mechanisms that preserve speed with quality. The study offers a parsimonious monitoring panel (level, CAGR, gaps, and typology) to inform planning and follow-up of full-time schooling across Brazil’s multilevel system.
