Brazil rated low in Child Education


Brazil was rated below Latin America's average in terms of children's educational opportunities in a research lead by the World Bank. However, the country is said to have had obvious improvement from 1995 to 2005, the period covered by the study. Most of the children who lacked educational opportunities were black children living in the northern and northeastern parts of the country. By contrast, 44 percent of the children with the most opportunities were born in the richest areas of the country, such as Sao Paulo and Brasilia, the capital city. Children in Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica, Venezuela and Uruguay possess the most equal opportunities, while those in Nicaragua, Guatemala and Honduras enjoy the least. Regional as well as the international authorities must come together to promote the educational opportunities. Initiating dialogue on best practices between countries that are facing similar crises is an important step for reciprocal benefit.
