Homeschooling in Brazil

Discussion About Homeschooling

MIG data shows that online discussions about homeschooling in Brazil are not particularly prominent.

• Low discussion suggests that it may not be a popular topic of conversation in relation to other current events or that it does not generate as much controversy or attention as other issues.
• However, the lack of discussion on homeschooling does not necessarily reflect a lack of interest or importance of the issue in the broader Brazilian context.

The top discussion topics in Brazil over the last 30 days do not include anything specifically related to homeschooling or education regulations.

Public Discussion About Education

• There is some discussion about education secretaries working on reinforcement schooling in 2024 due to almost 80% of students not learning anything during the pandemic.
• There are some calls for the adoption of homeschooling in response to Brazil's poor performance in PISA, a global student assessment.
• The fact that Bolsonaro's government had four Ministers of Education, each seemingly worse than the last, is also a point of dissatisfaction.

Jair Bolsonaro

Sentiment seems predominantly negative for Bolsonaro.

Positive

• Some defend Bolsonaro, arguing that he kept the country financially stable during the pandemic.
