The document summarizes the educational system in Brazil. It outlines the different levels of education from early childhood through post-doctoral studies. It also identifies some problems with the public education system such as lack of investment, poor school infrastructure, low teacher salaries, large class sizes, and lack of preparation for educational technology. The second document provides examples of how educational technology is being used in Brazil based on interviews with teachers, including as a tool for teachers, to make classes more engaging, to access online information, and for communication.
