Democratic societies need educated citizens, well-informed and critical. Democracy requires that everyone be able to determine their preferences and choose among viable alternatives, exercising their right to hold their representatives accountable and be part of the political process. In this context, education is a universal right and a duty of the State, which should provide it for free and at high standards to the whole community. Brazilian democracy appears to be a far away dream because of the precarious condition of public education in the country. A country marked by a deeply unequal and unjust history, Brazil faces serious challenges to its future by not ensuring the best education for all its people, especially for the children.
