At the Lemann Foundation, part of our mission is to provide Brazilian children of all backgrounds with the opportunity to realize their full potential through access to high-quality education.
In pursuit of this mission, we are taking action on two fronts. To drive immediate progress, we strive to guarantee access to high-quality education for the greatest number of Brazilian students through partnerships with school districts and organizations. To drive broader, longer-term progress, we are working to facilitate systemic change through education policy.
How we’re improving Brazil’s public education system:
- We ensure high-quality instruction is a top priority in over 15,300 schools by fostering buy-in and engagement among mayors and governors.
- We provide educators with the resources, incentives, and professional development they need to ensure students experience the most effective learning opportunities possible.
- We collaborate with political and pedagogical leaders to craft and implement public policies that are both informed by current pedagogical best practices and responsive to on-the-ground realities. This has included actively contributing to the development of Brazil’s new National Learning Standards, as well as producing evidence-based roadmaps to help Brazil’s schools align their instruction with these new standards.
