Public Education in Brazil
As of the 2023 School Census, Brazil maintains the largest educational network in Latin America, encompassing 47.3 million students across 178,500 schools. Despite notable progress in recent decades, Brazil remains among the world's most unequal countries, a disparity reflected in education, with concerning learning indices among the most vulnerable populations. Education's urgency is underscored by its inclusion in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030, specifically Goal 4, which aims to "ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all".

According to the World Bank, supporting teachers is the most efficient and effective way to improve education. Consequently, Nova Escola focuses on supporting public school teachers' practices to enhance their students' learning outcomes.
