Education in Brazil

Nowadays, education in Brazil is a very important issue. Brazil does not fulfill its constitutional duty of assuring that all people receive quality education. Not all Brazilian public schools have adequate conditions for its students to study.

With no motivation, many students drop out of school before completing their basic formation, which will make them finding work much harder.

The data about student performance, mainly in public schools, is alarming. Public education encounters many problems and difficulties: lack of teachers, poor teaching material, low salaries, strikes, violence within the schools, and many other. This is the consequence of the low ammount of public investment in education. According to UNESCO, developed countries invest 71% more in basic education than Brazil. Brazilian education will only develop if the government has education as one of their main priorities.
