In Brazil, basic education is a breakthrough with significant numbers. In total, there are more than 2 million teachers teaching more than 47 million students in 179,000 schools. In other words, about a quarter of Brazilians are enrolled in early childhood, elementary, or secondary education

Teachers have a huge responsibility, both in terms of student numbers and the impact their work has on the country's development. After all, by supporting school-age children and adolescents, or young adults and adults who have had the opportunity to return to the classroom, they are building our future.
