The Brazilian Ministry of Education created a short documentary to discuss education reform in Brazil, as well as the adoption of the Programa Internacional de Avaliação de Alunos (Pisa), or International Student Evaluation Program. The short film discusses the measures the government took to improve education in Brazil, including increased spending per student and financial performance-based incentives. The documentary includes interviews with government officials and education experts, who talk about the changes to the Brazilian education system. It’s in Portuguese, but good news for beginners and those looking to build their vocabulary – it has English subtitles. Watch below!
Was this just propaganda? The statistics did not clearly show the real literacy/ numeracy figures in Brazil in any intelligible way. Do public schools exist in favelas? What is the government doing to raise the education there. Why are they so reliant on volunteers? Why will teachers’ salaries not be raised until 2020? Why is Dilma promising aid to European countries when salaries are so low for teachers? Is the pupil teacher ratio going to be tackled? What resources are being invested to make a difference now? Improvement is not just about principals talking to each other or phoning parents. What about putting the bonus money available into all schools right now not after they have achieved progress. Success is its own reward. Why should children have to wait if the resources are available now. seems like the government is so corrupt that most of the huge amount of tax payers money is going into their pockets, not into schools. If the masses got an education, they would question this corruption and revolt or at least be better equipped for better jobs and then who will do the slave labour jobs for the rich or supply their drugs??
