An overview of educational vulnerabilities in Brazil

This paper seeks to show an overview of Brazilian educational vulnerabilities that we can find at public schools all over the country, but mainly in poor areas. Our approach is a bibliographical one and our analysis is a qualitative and quantitative one. The results of this paper confirm, with the use of many authors' works, that educational vulnerabilities in Brazil are thought of as a mechanism of power to keep the poor population illiterate for the political benefit of some candidates in the elections and the business elite of the country. There is no interest of the very influential and rich people in Brazil to have a more equal country to all, as the poor people still serve as manoeuvrer mass to their interests.
