📋 Tender Overview
Established by the Ministry of Education (MEC) in 2024, this Tuesday, December 2nd, it completes a year of operation, transforming the reality of teenagers like Kaylaine dos Santos, aged 14. The program made me feel welcomed in every aspect. The teaching is great, the lunch, the socializing... Honestly? It was the best thing Ive ever done, highlighted the student.
The program aims to combat ethnic-racial inequalities in education by offering classes and activities aimed at recovering student learning, focusing on the particularities that may affect 9th grade students who completed primary education in the public school system. The policys audience is defined by the Quota Law (Law No. 14,723/2023): black students, quilombolas, indigenous people, those with disabilities or family income per person of up to one minimum wage.
According to the Basic Education Assessment System (Saeb), these teenagers face racial and social inequalities in learning mathematics, Portuguese and natural sciences -- a scenario that makes it difficult for them to enter technical education.

The total workload is 320 hours.
In addition, the course offers additional training, with psycho-pedagogical support, academic guidance and writing workshops. For Miguel Falcao, 15 years old, the support from the educators made all the difference: I liked the way the teachers treated us. There is joy, good humor, a smile on their faces, and the learning is of high quality, which makes us want to study even more.
Enrolled students receive a scholarship of R200 per month, for eight months -- payment of the permanence allowance is made by the institutions after the courses begin.
