In Brazil, President Temer Wants Distance Education to Make up 40% of High School Curriculums

FROM SÃO PAULO
The administration of Michel Temer (MDB) wants 40% of high school curriculums to be available online. Teenagers and adults enrolled in the EJA basic education program - which currently has 6.9 million students - would be able to access 100% of their curriculums online.
Adopted in 2017, a resolution that was devised in order to update the National Curricular Guidelines for Secondary Education is calling for the regulation of online education.
A document obtained by Folha detailing such regulations was recently discussed by the National Council of Education (CNE) for the first time. Proponents of the proposal who are on the committee say that the document aims to explore new possibilities on the education front.
However, some experts fear that the quality of the public education system, which contemplates 88% of all high school students in Brazil, could deteriorate even further.
