Ana Dal Fabbro is the General Coordinator for Technology and Innovation in Basic Education at the Brazilian Ministry of Education, where she is responsible for national policies on digital education and connectivity in basic education. She holds a Master’s degree in Development from the London School of Economics and Political Science and has built solid experience at the intersection of public policy, technology, and education, playing a central role in shaping strategies to promote equitable and pedagogically meaningful use of digital technologies in schools.
Before joining the Ministry, Ana worked at the Center for Innovation in Brazilian Education (CIEB), where she coordinated projects that contributed to the national debate on digital transformation in education. Through this work, she supported several state and municipal education departments across Brazil in developing digital education policies and capacity-building initiatives for teachers and school leaders. She later served as a manager in the city of Recife, where she implemented innovative programs that expanded access to technology and improved teaching and learning in public schools.
At the Ministry of Education, Ana leads the National Strategy for Connected Schools (ENEC), a federal initiative launched in 2023 that articulates policies and actions to universalize quality internet access and ensure the pedagogical use of technology in all public schools. More than connecting schools, ENEC aims to strengthen the presence of digital and media education in curricula, invest in teacher and school leader training, and promote integral learning that prepares students to engage critically, consciously, and safely in the digital world.
Passionate about equity and innovation, Ana is committed to ensuring that every student in Brazil has access to high-quality digital learning opportunities. She hopes that participating in the EdTech Fellowship will allow her to exchange insights with global leaders in educational technology, deepen her understanding of innovative practices, and further contribute to transformative digital education policies.
