| description |
By the year 2000, Brazil had almost
achieved universal primary enrollment for Grades 1-4, and
more than 50 million Brazilians were enrolled in the
country's education system. From 1970 to 2000, 32
million additional students entered school, two-thirds of
them during the last two decades. Over a five-year period
(1996-2000), while primary schooling continued to make
important gains, enrollments in secondary and tertiary
education in Brazil grew at the astonishing rate of 43% and
44% respectively. Many developing countries face problems
with age-grade distortion. Largely because of high
repetition rates, age-grade distortion in Brazil is about 10
percent country-wide, and almost 40 percent in the
northeastern part of the country. An innovative program
called Accelerated Learning has been implemented to address
this issue. Under this program, the federal government
finances the creation of special classes for over-aged
students with the objective of reducing the age-grade
distortion and freeing up space in public schools. By year
2000 there were already 1.2 million students enrolled in
accelerated learning programs in all Brazilian states. |
