Classroom Oscar Niemeyer, Adib Domingos Jatene, Ivo Pitanguy are the exceptions. Very rare are our philosophers, writers, scientists, professionals who achieve international recognition and will be remembered in the future for their contributions to humanity. We do not have a single Nobel Prize in science or literature.

Great article and so true !!!!

"It results from the limitations of our elementary and secondary education in generating thinkers who meet the world's highest standards"

- as per the preceeding article around 58 & of the voters did not go higher than the fourth grade !

- that is why a non educated society elected...a non educated President !

- that explains why the Brazilian education is ranked 46th out of 50 in one test and 34th out of 34 in another test made Jornal Hodje !!!!


Allo...allo......where are Jon, Augustus, Costa/Costinha ???????????????????????????????

My wife got a brasilian education to the 6 grade .

and went to work as a house keeper .

but instead of spending time at the beach and bars she

schooled herself , quite well i say .

even to the point of spanish and italian lanuage .

and met me and in 6 months had conversanial english down .

so the people are there .

BUT the pride is not as with the class system brasil and the other

SA & CA countries they have been told they can never change there status in life .

blame it on the old world adatuide

If you ever waste my time again with another one of these sonnets to your stupidity, I will uppercut your jaw so hard that your head snaps backward and then snaps forward in perfect synchronicity for me to head butt you into a 7-year coma.

You are the giant rolling turd on a sand dune!

education in Brazil
written by Shelly1, July 12, 2008

y excluding millions of Brazilians from school, we are throwing away the geniuses left behind. We are reducing the number of those who have access to the quality school; we are diminishing the level of work demanded in the education of those who study.


It is in the governments best interest to keep people uneducated. There are two kinds of students: those who take seriously and those who "mamma & pappa" wanted to be...(feel free to put a professional tiltle here). The latter is what we see more often at private universities, and to an extent, at public (federal, state and municipal) funded schools. Brazil has the hardest public university admissions test, and only those who go to "cursinho" are likely to pass. The poor student has to be extremely focused, not work or help mom and dad at the "feira".

Unless we have A-leves and O-levels put in place, we'll keep brilliant minds from reaching the classrooms.

No sir, we do not have a single Nobel Prize in science or literature. BUT, we will very soon have one that is going to get a Nobel Peace Award.

Joao : a few days ago someone signed as AUGUSTUS ! Simple

Tranny Costinha or TV Costa (same) : your threats did not take my sleep ! Why ? Because a Brazilian promise remains.....a Brazilian promises only ! As you are a Lula's fan... just look at what Lula promised and has not delivered !!!!!!

As to the Nobel Prize Brazil should win you are right : exporting over US$ 50 billion of food.....while having 25 % of UNDER NOURRISHED citizens in his country !
Yesssss....HE deserves to receive the Nobel prize of SHAME !!!
