Government
Government leaders not only represent the voice of the people, but they are also capable of promoting lasting and scalable policies and programs for the people they represent. That’s why the Lemann Foundation aligns with those who are doing great work with or within governments. We learn from and work side by side with leaders who have the power to implement real, sustainable change in Brazil’s education system. We also invest in public sector talent, developing aspiring government leaders so that they have the skills and the training to have the greatest opportunity to create meaningful change.
If you work for a government agency in Brazil — whether federal, state or municipal — we encourage you to explore the opportunities we provide for partnerships and programs. We also provide research and data that can inform public policies and help you make a difference in the public sector.

Excelência com Equidade
The more affluent students in Brazil’s private schools are being much better prepared for success after graduation—perpetuating an educational inequality that does a disservice to everyone in our country. To usher in a new era of learning and maximize the potential of all Brazilians, it is crucial to overcome the persistent inequalities in our education system. The “Excellence with Equity” series of studies identifies those public schools that have achieved excellent learning outcomes for students with low socioeconomic status. Here, you’ll learn about real experiences and best practices that can inspire schools in your community.
