In the last years, Brazil has made progress in addressing the challenges of ensuring that children and adolescents learn at the appropriate age. Initiatives such as the National Commitment to Literate Children, the Full-Time School Program, the National Strategy for Connected Schools, and the Schools for Adolescents Program reflect a renewed commitment to public education and to reducing educational inequalities.

In this context, the Lemann Foundation’s impact ecosystem operates collaboratively to drive structural solutions, connecting organizations, experts, governments, and public administrators in a network grounded in evidence and dedicated to supporting the implementation of public policies. Through targeted research, studies, and investments, we strengthen programs that expand access to quality education and promote a more just, responsive, and inclusive system.

“We are witnessing firsthand that improving public education in Brazil is possible. When more children are literate at the right age and more adolescents remain in school with purpose and meaningful learning, we reap the benefits of consistent public policies and collaboration among various governmental and non-governmental players. While there is still a long road ahead, we remain committed to public education that ensures equitable learning from the earliest school years. This is how we build a Brazil with more justice and real opportunities for all.”
