Designing Inclusive Futures: The Importance of the PNLD

In a country with continental dimensions like Brazil, the challenge of providing inclusive and accessible education is colossal. At the heart of this challenge shines the National Textbook Program (PNLD), a governmental initiative that has been the backbone in delivering high-quality educational content to Brazilian schools. In this scenario, Booknando emerges as a company that not only understands the magnitude of this challenge but is also equipped with the technology and expertise necessary to tackle it.

When various publishers, both large and small, sought a reliable partner to meet the technical and accessibility requirements of the PNLD, they found Booknando a robust ally. Among them, Editora Palavras, a publisher with grand aspirations, formed a unique partnership with Booknando. It wasn’t just about producing books, but about a transfer of knowledge that empowered Editora Palavras to start its own digital productions. Booknando, with its collaborative approach, not only provided technical support but also shared valuable insights on accessibility and technical requirements of the PNLD, strengthening Editora Palavras’ capacity to contribute meaningfully to inclusive education.

But the narrative doesn’t end here. M10, another company, also joined forces with Booknando in the mission to transform textbooks and educational objects into accessible resources. And the list grows, with names like Editora Autêntica, Editora Rocco, Editora Projeto, Editora Iluminuras, and Editora MVC, all finding in Booknando a technical partner who deeply understands the nuances of the PNLD.

Booknando, with its technical expertise, has played a vital role in simplifying the complexities of the PNLD. Using automation and artificial intelligence, the company has revolutionized the way textbooks and literary books are produced and made accessible. A notable area has been accessibility, with special attention to image description, a crucial component in making educational content accessible to all.

This is a story of collaboration, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to inclusive education. The partnership between Booknando and various publishers is a testament to what can be achieved when technology meets a passion for education. Together, they are not only meeting the demands of the present but also designing a future where education is truly inclusive and accessible to all, one digital book at a time.
