Public Education in Brazil : Over 41 Million now enrolled

According to the Brazilian ‘Diario Oficial da Uniao’ ( official gazette) the preliminary results of the Public Education Census for 2012 are now available. The total shows that very nearly 41.2 million young (or younger) people are now enrolled in publicly-run Preschools, Elementary schools, High schools, Special education and Adult education. Together these include both state and municipal provision and total about 21% of the entire Brazilian population.

As far as the actual school-age population is concerned, the data shows a significant and rising majority of the age group is catered for. This is well on the way to the Government’s target of full education quotas.
