The document discusses a report showing teenagers from poorer families are half as likely to progress to higher education as those from wealthier families. It then presents the results of a survey on improving access to education for low-income groups. Respondents agreed that resources like TV programs, workshops, and competitions could help make education more accessible. However, most felt the current local education system is not reliable for low-income families. Suggestions are provided such as making education free or low-cost, improving teacher quality, and giving families a voice to help children succeed.

O evento contará com a participação do prefeito Eduardo Paes e de gestores públicos e especialistas para discutir os desafios de crescimento da cidade, como a diversificação econômica e o legado dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2016.
