_Education

Hey guys,
I'm gonna talk a little bit about education, I don't know how works there the structure of education but here is how it works.
Education in Brazil is divided into 3 levels:
  • Pre - school Education: this one is optional and exists to aid in development of children under 6.
  • Elementary School: 6-14 years old, we have 8 grades, but 9 years if you count the pre- school.
  • High School: Medium Education, and takes 3 years, the students must have finished the Elementary before they are allowed to enroll in High school.
  • Higher Education: Students here must pass a competitive examination, known as vestibular, for their specific course of study.

Education in Brazil is regulated by the Federal Goverment and the Minister of Education defines the guilding principles for the organization of educational programs. The Local Goverments are responsible to following guidelines supplied by the Federal Government.

The reality is that we have money, however the Government and our laws are medievals. This sunday we are trying to change this reality, so please cross yours fingers!!!!!! =)

I don't know if I put myself clear, so doubts...please ask!

See ya,

Ana.

  1. In your country, there are 8 grads for Elementary school. That is a long time. So there is no middle school. You will get lots of fun in Middle in America before you enroll into the high school.You education is kind of strict. For the higher education, the competitive examination is very hard? OR you need to dependent on your major to take the level of the examination. How about the fee for the education? Do you need to pay fee for the elementary school and medium education?
