2Education in BrazilThe level of knowledge of the English languageamongst Brazilians reflects both the educationalopportunities available and, more broadly, theprovision of education in Brazil.When analysing the factors that influence thedemand for English language training, the first pointto highlight is the educational leap that has takenplace in Brazil. More recent generations have higherlevels of schooling than previous generations. Datafrom the National Research by Household Sample(PNAD) indicates that only 32% of those aged 48 to60 years have been schooled beyond elementarylevel. This is in stark contrast to those aged 18 to30 years of age, 57% of whom progressed beyondelementary level. (2)Overall, literacy levels in Brazil are still low. Only athird of Brazilians have read a book in the last yearand of this third, only half have read more than twobooks. This may explain why almost 30% of peoplein Brazil do not have a single book in their home. (3)The Brazilian’s Perception research indicates thateducation is highly valued. For the elite, educationis an important marker of social standing; forthe middle class, it is an important tool for socialprogression. University is perceived as a way ofdeveloping the basis for a professional career. For8 out of every 10 people, the main reason to go touniversity is to get a better job, and 84% of peoplebelieve that level of education is directly related toearnings.Schooling Level between Generations18-3057%5% 16% 22% 39% 10% 8%46-6032%16% 40% 12% 19% 11%IlliterateUp to elementaryComplete elementaryComplete high schoolStudying higher educationComplete higher education2%Source: Data Popular based on PNAD2Source: Data Popular based on the PNAD3Data Popular Research: Brazil into Perspective 2013Learning English in Brazil | 9
