  7. Brazilian Educational System A – Organization: It is divided into: 1 – Basic Education: From 0 to 18 years, mostly public and free 1.1 – Pre-School Education (responsibly of municipal government): Nursery - 0-3 years and 11 months:1 5% of children enrolled and Pre-School from 4 to 5 years; provides to 70% of children – OPTIONAL 1.2 – Elementary School (responsibility mostly municipal): From 6 to 14 years: 98% of children are enrolled in elementary schools (12% only in private education.) – MANDATORY 6 to 10 years old: 1st to 5th grade 11 to 14 years: the 6th to 9th grade

  8. 2 - Middle School - (mostly responsibility of public power state, and in some cases, of the federal government) From 15 to 18 years – (reaches 70% of youths in that age group. Technical – vocational education System SESC-SENAI - still affects a minority 3 – Higher Education 19 years and older – mainly in educational private institutions

  9. B – Our Challenges: 1 – Financing – 7% of GDP devoted to education should rise to 11%, so that teacher’s salaries can become competitive and the learning time in schools, could increase and primary school students would stay between 4 – 5 hours. 2-The cost of a student is about $ 1,462 against $ 15,000 in the United States per year. 3 - Students learn very little in Portuguese and Mathematics, occupying the worst positions on international tests such as PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment).

  10. C – What we’ve been doing • PDE (Education Development Plan) • SaEB (Evaluation System for Elementary School) • IDEB (Development Index of Elementary School) • More Education program, Education Full-Time, trying to increase the learning period to at least 7 hours a day. • Better communication between Higher Education and Basic Education • Intersection and integration of sectors

  11. D – What we still need/want Well informed citizens who feel responsible for taking action to change and improve life in the communities/cities/world can better tackle these problems .
