São Paulo Media Center

The São Paulo Media Center, officially known as the São Paulo State Education Media Center (Portuguese: Centro de Mídias da Educação do Estado de São Paulo), or CMSP for short, is an educational web portal operated by the São Paulo State Education Secretary (SEDUC-SP) that serves the state's public schools. Originally developed as an educational platform to deliver remote classes during the COVID-19 pandemic,^[1] it has since evolved into the primary educational resource for schools across the state of São Paulo. This website now integrates various smaller platforms, including both those owned by SEDUC-SP, such as Leia SP,^[2] and others that have been acquired, like EF Education First (called SPeak from June 2024).^[3]

In April 2023, CMSP launched the Digital Material platform, designed to provide teachers and students with educational resources in formats like PDFs and editable presentations. The introduction of these digital materials was scheduled for the third term of the 2023 school year, with the goal of enhancing the overall teaching and learning experience.^[4]

In July 2023, with the rollout of digital materials, SEDUC-SP began a rapid shift towards digital teaching across the state’s public school network. During this transition, the "Currículo em Ação" scholar books program was temporarily suspended to make room for the exclusively digital resources provided by CMSP. However, in high school, the program continued in the Technology and Innovation sector during the third term.^[5]

At the start of August 2023, SEDUC-SP initially opted against using the scholar books supplied by the Ministry of Education (MEC) for the upcoming 2024 school year.^[6] This decision was revisited on August 16 due to pressure from the judiciary.^[7][8] By October 2023, the "Currículo em Ação" books were reintroduced for both elementary and high school students, with specific volumes allocated for the fourth term.^[9] By 2024, CMSP began managing various digital platforms.
