Educational initiatives in Brazil continue to focus on literacy development and systemic equity through local and national efforts. While the Ministry of Education (MEC) works to institutionalize improvements via ‘Brasil Aprende+’, municipal governments are increasingly implementing specialized training programs. In Atibaia, the Secretariat of Education hosted the ‘Café com Prosinha: Práticas que Brilham!’ meeting, where approximately 200 early childhood education professionals shared pedagogical experiences using the ‘Coleção Prosinha’ materials. Meanwhile, Taquara launched the ‘Educa Mais #Taquara’ project in partnership with the Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (TCE-RS). This initiative, which covers 42 schools, aims to strengthen educational management and learning results through monitoring and mentorship through 2027. A growing emphasis on scientific approaches to teaching is also evident. In Marília, school managers participated in ‘Neuroscience and Learning’ training at Univem to explore how brain development, memory, and plasticity can inform more inclusive and intentional pedagogical practices. Similarly, in Lucas do Rio Verde, over 250 literacy professionals attended a seminar focused on evidence-based literacy. Led by Dr. Sandra Puliezi, the session emphasized how the brain learns to read, specifically highlighting the importance of phonological awareness to improve reading fluency and comprehension. National progress is being reinforced by data from the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (Pnad-C), which shows the illiteracy rate for the population aged 15 and older fell to a historical low of 4.9% in 2025. ~~Regional improvements were noted in~~ Various states reported declines between 2024 and 2025, including Roraima (3.4%), Acre (8.9%), and Bahia (9.5%).
