Annual Report 2022

<< Back Quality public education

Learning as a priority

In 2022, partner organizations expanded their work with governments committed to student learning outcomes through the following programs: Educar pra Valer, Collaborative Literacy Program (PARC), Impulsionar, Formar, and Plantar Educação, spanning the nation with coverage in 22 states.

We also inaugurated the first year of a strategy that puts adolescents at the center of their learning process. And MegaEdu supported our efforts on school connectivity to offer high-quality personalized learning solutions to more schools more quickly. The number of adequate internet connections in public schools for pedagogical use increased from 25,000 to 47,000—an 88% increase.

Equity at the heart of learning

We believe that adolescence must be prioritized in all its complexity and power of development. That’s what we did in 2022. We bet on learning recovery and redefining the 6th to 9th grades and placed adolescents as protagonists in their own education.

16% of 11-to-14-year-old students have considered dropping out of school:

38% because they think school is boring;

50% for not being able to follow the explanations or activities;

35% for not feeling welcomed.

Teaching at the Right Level

Through the technical partnership of Instituto Gesto, this learning recovery initiative—with a positive impact proven by the J-PAL global research center based at MIT—groups students by levels to accelerate learning recovery in Math and Reading in the short term.

In 2022, we focused our efforts on raising awareness and instrumentalizing public education networks and managers to work on learning recovery. How? Through network assessments, curricular prioritization, specific pedagogical methods and materials, and teacher training.

The Lemann Foundation Student Council

A council of young leaders that meets, alongside the Lemann Foundation, to build a vision and proposals for the improvemen of 6th to 9th grade education. Listening to and taking time for collective reflection with young people in schools from all five regions of Brazil allowed them tocontribute to developing teaching and learning strategies for a new school model for adolescents.

The 6th to 9th grade brought significant changes. We started to see dropouts and low performance during this period. That does not mean that students’ opinions, expectations, and dreams should not be heard. We believe that, by making them protagonists in the decisions of school life, they can collaborate uniquely with developing a new school model.
