Q & A

What is the main purpose of Law 9394/96 in the context of Brazilian education?

Law 9394/96, also known as the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (LDB), establishes the national guidelines for the organization and functioning of Basic Education in Brazil. It defines the responsibilities of the Union, states, and municipalities in managing education at various levels.

How does the Union contribute to the education system in Brazil?

The Union is responsible for preparing the National Education Plan, defining competencies and guidelines for early childhood education, elementary education, and high school, ensuring the implementation of the National Common Curriculum Base (BNCC), conducting external assessments, and overseeing higher education accreditation and supervision.

What role do states play in the education system according to Law 9394/96?

States are responsible for organizing and maintaining educational institutions, defining collaboration forms with municipalities in providing elementary education, and ensuring access to high school education for all who demand it. They must also manage their educational system and adhere to guidelines set by the Union.

How do municipalities contribute to the Brazilian education system?

Municipalities are primarily responsible for offering early childhood education in daycare centers and preschools, and ensuring elementary education. They may also provide secondary education, but the resources used for this must come from outside the 25% of their budget allocated to education.

What is the difference between state and municipality roles in education in Brazil?

While the state ensures access to elementary education and prioritizes high school, municipalities focus on early childhood education and give priority to elementary education. States may offer high school education, while municipalities can collaborate with them in providing certain segments of education.

What is the required minimum attendance for students in Brazil’s education system?

For elementary and high school students, the minimum required attendance is 75%. For early childhood education, the minimum attendance is 60%.

What are the criteria for evaluating and classifying students in the Brazilian education system?

Students are classified based on their age and capacity. They may be reclassified to a higher grade if their abilities warrant it. Classification occurs through promotion or transfer, and partial progression may be allowed in some cases, with specific criteria for assessment.

How does the curriculum in Brazilian education reflect regional characteristics?

The curriculum in Brazilian education includes a common national base of subjects, along with a specified part tailored to regional characteristics. This ensures that students learn relevant content based on their local culture and economy.

What is the role of physical education in Brazilian schools, and who is exempt from it?

Physical education is mandatory for students unless exempt due to specific conditions. Exemptions apply to students working more than six hours a day, students over 30 years old, and students in military service, among others.

What is the purpose of early childhood education in Brazil, and how is it evaluated?

Early childhood education aims to support the comprehensive development of children up to five years old, focusing on physical, psychological, intellectual, and social development. It is evaluated through monitoring and recording of development without the goal of promotion, as it is not intended for advancing children to elementary school.
