Education in Brazil
Education in Brazil is a priority of government and society, yet it still is not reaching the desired goals. Education is divided into three levels, basic, intermediate and higher. Basic education is the responsibility of municipalities, the school and the Higher States of three levels with predominance to state universities, as UEL, federal. The whole system of public education is free, however all levels is that private education is paid. There is also education for youth and adults who for some reason did not study in due time.
