Since 2018, Educar pra Valer (EpV) has been supporting municipal networks on four pillars: management, pedagogical action, monitoring and assessments, and action sustainability.
In addition to providing technical support and fostering management best practices, the program has improved the Educar pra Valer Assessment System (SAEV), making it more accessible and strategic for qualifying pedagogical analysis. SAEV is a tool to evaluate student’s performance in Portuguese and Math, generating data that guides more effective pedagogical actions. In 2024, this assessment methodology was fully adopted by all municipalities in the states of Espírito Santo (ES) and Amapá (AP).

With the commitment to ensuring that no child is left out of school or without learning, the municipality of Princesa Isabel, in the inland regions of Paraíba, has led a real transformation in education. Since 2019, by joining the Alliance for Literacy, it has strengthened teacher training and appreciation, adopted quality teaching materials and mobilized the entire school community around a common goal: to make all children literate at the appropriate age. The results couldn’t be more inspiring. By the end of 2024, 96% of students had become fluent readers, and the municipality stood out at IDEB 2023, at the top 5 ratings in Paraíba, with a score of 7.4. This achievement reaffirms that, with union, investment and political will, it is possible to transform lives through education.
