Financial and fiscal education initiatives in Brazil

Overview

Brazil is implementing various educational initiatives aimed at teaching financial and fiscal literacy to children and adolescents. These programs seek to foster responsible resource management and citizenship by explaining how the State collects resources and converts them into public policies.

To engage younger students, some approaches utilize gamification, such as the Paraná State Department of Finance’s ‘Vila do Ed’ game on the Roblox platform.

At the municipal level, specific programs have been launched to reach elementary school students. In Rio Branco, the ‘Na Ponta do Lápis’ program serves thousands of students across 28 schools, focusing on the importance of taxes and the management of public resources. Similarly, in Jaguariaíva, a Fiscal Education Program for 4th and 5th-grade students is being conducted through technical cooperation between the Public Prosecutor's Office of Accounts of Paraná and local associations to teach public budgeting and the social function of taxes.
