The National Commitment to Literate Children

Literacy at the right age

Our collaborative efforts take place through the Alliance for Literacy, a coalition formed by the Lemann Foundation, Bem Comum Association, Natura Institute, Co-Impact, and other partners.

We join forces to ensure that all children are literate by the end of 2nd year of Elementary school through initiatives such as the Partnership for Literacy through Collaborative Governance (Parceria pela Alfabetização em Regime de Colaboração – PARC) and the Education that Matters Program (Educar pra Valer – EpV), in addition to supporting state and municipal governments in implementing the National Commitment to Literate Children.

The National Commitment to Literate Children

The Commitment was launched in 2023 by the Ministry of Education (MEC) and aims to ensure the right to literacy to all children in Brazil, through a collaborative system involving the federal government, states, the Federal District, and municipalities.
