In January 2003, when I was Brazil's Minister of Education, I suggested to President Lula and Communications Minister, Luiz Gushiken, that the first presidential speech carried nationwide over television and radio should commemorate the beginning of the school year. This would offer an opportunity to speak of the importance of that day.

Its true education is the future of Brasil but Lula is blissfully unaware, the country will fall behind the rest of the world. Brasil can not hope to compete with the manufacturing industry of the Eastern countries or the technological industry of India/EU/USA.
Hope he is not elected.

You forgot to name other countries.
In South Korea for example, 1 of the 24 countries recognized as developing country, 86 % goes to university.
In Brazil the number is only 10 % ! therefore even if in the next decade, Brtazil will double its percentage, the gap will remain wide...wide....wide....!
Here is what Mailson da Nobrega, brazilian, said : "South Korea, for example, spends one-third of what it spends on education on pensions. In Brazil, the situation is the opposite, with pensions representing two and a half times the amount spent on education"
With such a differential in Brazil education....the gap will only widen...widen...widen...over time ! Even if Brazil doubles the education budget, the gap will widen at a less rapide rate...but still widen continuously !!!
Brazil will remain the farmers of the world. And as everywhere in this world, only a small minority of farmers, the larger ones, will make good money and profits. This means that it is guaranteed that 95 % of the Brazilian farmers will remain as poor as they have been during the last century.

YOU ARE A f**kING MORON.
Brazilian People, how can you expect education from a guy who barely know how to sign his own name??
Educated people think therefore the government don't like thinkers, so we conclude that it is not in the best interest of the government to have even childreen thinking.
I said government as whole not just the "9 fingers" That's it , fellas

Yes , he (MR.Lula) can barely sign his name and is obvious that he did care much about his own education.Neverthless, he could have had a proper and realistic vision about how important and vital education is, at all levels , for the development of a country. He is an incompetent and ignorant human being it seems like.There is very good education in Brazil, for a small minority of people.Brazilians know that very well.It is something that should be offered for everybody, and it is not.We(brazilians) are composed of a very intelligent, clever , intuitive and creative people.Had the Brazilians good education as a whole , we would not be inferior to anybody else, in any area.Too bad corrupted governments with wrong politians run such gifted people! Let's hope for the future!
