The SNE gives Brazil the tools to guarantee the right to quality public education for all.
TECHNICAL NOTE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC ON CHILDREN'S LITERACY

The number went from 1.4 million in 2019 to 2.4 million in 2021. The content was featured in the national and international press.
TECHNICAL NOTE - ANALYSIS ABOUT THE PROJECT THAT CHANGES THE ICMS
A technical note published on May 30 expressed concern about the approval by the House of Representatives of the Complementary Law Project no. 18/2022, which changes the collection of the Value-Added Tax on Sales and Services (ICMS) on fuel and electricity in all Brazilian states.

EDUCATION CARAVANS NOW
From April to September, Todos traveled all over Brazil to mobilize for the cause of quality Public Basic Education. The Education Now Caravans were especially important at this decisive moment for the country, in a process of listening, dialoguing and mobilizing pre-candidates, local leaders from various sectors, the school community and opinion makers. The objectives of this initiative were: 1. to give (greater) knowledge to the main candidates in the states about the technical document of Education Now, in order to make it a reference for the construction of the government's program and, especially, for the eventual administration; 2. to raise awareness in the local public debate about the Basic Education agenda, creating the basis for the mobilization to be sustained until the elections. Presence in 14 Brazilian states, which correspond to 84% of Basic Education enrollments; Meetings with 215 people of great regional influence, among governors, secretaries and mayors; Education Now 2022 was delivered to 45 pre-candidates for state governments.

The data showed, for example, that according to the great majority of professionals in this category, the predominant model for selecting principals is not ideal. Although more than half of the public school principals are appointed by indication from the Secretary of Education, only 5% of them believe that this is the best way to choose. For 93% of those interviewed, the selection processes for school management should evaluate the technical competencies of the candidates.
TECHNICAL NOTES ON THE SAEB AND THE IDEB OF 2021
The release of the results of the System for the Evaluation of Basic Education (Saeb) assessments and the Basic Education Development Index (IDEB) for 2021 motivated two technical notes. Recognizing the relevance of the two learning indicators and the dissemination of their results, Todos showed that the atypical context of information collection and approved applications, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, generates risks of undue comparisons.
TECHNICAL NOTE INCLUSIVE EDUCATION NOW
In partnership with the Rodrigo Mendes Institute, All launched the document Inclusive Education: Recommendations for Inclusive Education Policies. With the conviction that education needs to guarantee full learning and full access to all children and young people - regardless of their socioeconomic situation, place of birth, gender, or whether or not they have a disability - the document seeks to support the construction of an educational agenda for state and federal governments with an inclusive perspective. The document is part of Educação Já 2022.
SABBATICALS WITH PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
As part of a set of initiatives aimed at qualifying the electoral debate, All has joined Folha de S.Paulo newspaper in the Education Sabbaticals to hear the government plans of the main candidates for the Presidency of the Republic. In live broadcast events, Rossieli Soares, Reginaldo Lopes, and Ivo Gomes - representatives of the campaigns of Simone Tebet (MDB), Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), and Ciro Gomes (PDT), respectively - showed what their candidates think are the priorities for education. Brazilian public education. Jair Bolsonaro's campaign was invited, but did not respond.
YOUNG PEOPLE RESEARCH: WHAT DO THEY WANT FROM SCHOOLS?
What do students in Brazil's public schools think and what do they expect from learning? As part of the Education Now 2022 initiative, All has carried out a broad process of listening to the school community and, in partnership with the Telefônica Vivo Foundation, the Natura Institute and the Sonho Grande Institute, commissioned Datafolha to conduct an opinion poll with high school students from public schools all over Brazil and in each state to understand their perception of school and Education.

As part of this action, Todos also organized a round table discussion with ten young people from all over Brazil to discuss the themes of the survey.
MAPPING EDUCATION IN THE STATES
Understanding that gathering available data and analyzing it with criteria is fundamental for the formulation of more effective public policies, All elaborated the Panoramas of Basic Education for each of the Brazilian states.
TECHNICAL NOTE DISTANCE LEARNING ADVANCES
Distance learning courses will account for 6 out of every 10 teachers trained in Brazil in 2020 - a high number, especially when compared to other courses in Brazilian Higher Education (on average, 24.6%). This and other relevant data on teacher training can be found in the Overview of Graduates in Initial Teacher Training Courses, a study carried out by Todos based on the Higher Education Census. The survey also reveals that the percentage of graduates in distance education in teacher training has never grown as much as it did between 2019 and 2020.
TECHNICAL NOTES BUDGET UNDER REVIEW
In three technical notes, All reaffirmed its commitment to monitoring the resources allocated to Basic Education and to analyzing the federal government's priorities for the area. One of them analyzed the Annual Budget Bill (PLOA) for 2023, showing a drop of almost R$1 billion in resources for Basic Education, compared to the previous year. Two others unraveled the MEC's budget blockade, which exceeded R$2 billion in Basic Education and affected, above all, infrastructure support.

According to the words of the executive president of Todos Pela Educação:
We anticipated that 2021 would be a difficult year, and we were correct. The multiple agenda imposed on Brazil and Brazilian Basic Education amid a pandemic required effort, work, technical capacity, resilience, partnerships, and political articulation with key actors capable of meeting the year’s challenges. Features that
are normally prohibitively expensive for Todos Pela Educação and that, in 2021, proved to be even more critical for our struggles and accomplishments throughout the year.
We work for the resumption of classrooms with a rhythm and effectiveness capable of initiating the long process of learning recovery for millions of children and teenagers who were absent from the classrooms. As a result, it was critical to work with the Forum of Governors to expedite the vaccination of educators and ensure adequate measures for school reopening.
We also actively participate in the Public debate for the National Education System regulation, whose agenda made important advances in the National Congress in 2021 and will be one of the priorities for 2022. We mapped some of the best educational experiences promoted throughout Brazil, within the Educação Que
Dá Certo initiative; we systematically monitor data to evaluate policies and results, providing evidence and technical content to inform the educational debate.
We closed the year launching the debate foundations for the future, with the Educação Já 2022: a stimulus for discussion and the commitment of candidates, parties, and society to a robust and transformative agenda, to make quality public Education a major national priority. Guided once again by our priority agenda for Brazilian Education, the Educação Já! We started 2021 mobilizing majors for the Education structuring challenges.
These and many other initiatives and accomplishments - which reaffirm the foundations of Todo’s work - are detailed in this activity report, a lengthy list for which we can only thank the executive team, consultants, associates, maintainers, supporters, and partners:
Once again, thank you very much!
2022 will be a decisive year for Brazil. We count on you to show Brazil has a way, and the solution is Education.

2ND QUARTER REPORT
All for Education
April to June 2022
Education Now: a journey across Brazil on behalf of quality public basic education
The second quarter of All for Education was marked by the renewal of a political commitment for Education Now (Educação Já). A journey that gained strength in early April, with the Annual Meeting Education Now 2022, bringing together a broad front of political leaders, experts, public managers, educators and civil society organizations on behalf of the recovery of Brazilian Public Education in the face of the current serious context.
The journey continued throughout Brazil with the Education Now Caravans.

TODOS PELA EDUCAÇÃO – ALL FOR EDUCATION
Todos Pela Educação (Todos) celebrated its 15th anniversary in September: 15 years of studying educational public policies, defending, articulating and monitoring indicators and proposals. Always defending students and public schools. Together, we made gains for Brazilian Basic Education, but we still have a long way to go: we will continue steadfast, with you, until all children and young people have access to quality education, which is plural and decisive for their lives.
The third quarter of 2021 was crucial to building our future.

EDUCATION NOW 2022: A PROPOSED STRATEGIC AGENDA FOR BRAZILIAN BASIC EDUCATION
It is possible to have quality Basic Education for all Brazilian students. Believing in this, we have produced, with the support of specialists and third sector organizations, Education Now 2022: A Proposed Strategic Agenda For Brazilian Basic Education (Educação Já 2022: uma proposta de agenda estratégica para a Educação Básica brasileira). The document, released as a "version for debate," contains recommendations for actions that will need to be implemented by the government in an emergency manner, in order to mitigate the effects of the pandemic in Basic Education, as well as proposals for structural measures, articulated in a systemic manner, to raise the quality of Basic Education and reduce inequalities in the country's educational systems.

The document is directly linked to Todos's strategic objective of advancing Education Now!, with a focus on the technical production axis.
In recent months, we have witnessed the gradual reopening of schools in several states across the country. Therefore, in parallel with the advocacy for the safe resumption of classroom activities, we continue with articulations and initiatives that can impact the directions of Education in the short and medium terms.
See below the main actions in this area during the quarter:
| TRAINING OF MUNICIPAL MANAGERS
We reached 1,391 of the Brazilian municipalities: more than 4,000 municipal managers guaranteed, through free registration, their participation in the Commitment to Education Program, led by “Todos” with the aim of encouraging municipalities to prioritize an agenda of structural changes in Education.
The initiative includes the signing of a letter of commitment to mark the municipal management's commitment to Education, the Education Now Municipalities Course, a 30-hour online training course for public managers, and the Seal of Commitment to Education, given to the municipalities that participated in the previous stages. A number of partnerships were established to expand and qualify the debate on educational policies and take the Commitment to Education Program to a large number of Brazilian cities.
Education Now Municipalities reaching municipalities and influencing their decision making. Managers and decision makers need access to accurate information and analysis. For this reason, we have released several documents and taken a position on key industry topics and events over the past few months.
| EDUCATION THAT WORKS (EDUCAÇÃO QUE DÁ CERTO)
Numerous education networks in the country have achieved significant educational results at the system level. In addition to showing that it is possible, these are efforts that illuminate paths. Mapping, analyzing and disseminating what lies behind these good examples of educational policies is the mission of the Education That Works (Educação que Dá Certo) initiative of Todos.
Based on interviews with multiple actors involved in each of the experiences and robust analysis of data and indicators, we developed technical documents and didactic materials to support the decision-making process of public managers and teams from the Secretariats throughout Brazil. The materials provide valuable inputs to inspire public managers, as they systematize solutions to challenges common to different public education networks, such as teacher training, pedagogical support to schools, pedagogical use of evaluations and much more. In the third quarter, we systematized municipal cases: Teresina (PI), Coruripe (AL), Londrina (PR) and São Paulo (SP). Get to know all of them in our platform launched in the last quarter of 2021.
| NATIONAL EDUCATION SYSTEM
Todos participated in a session in the Federal Senate dedicated to the debate on the National Education System (SNE). Among the proposals for regulation being discussed in the National Congress, there is PLP 235/2019, object of discussion at the event. Debated for almost one hundred years, the SNE is even more necessary at this time when we need to recover the damage caused to education by the pandemic.
IN NUMBERS:
25% of Brazilian municipalities are represented in the Education Already Municipalities Course
| BRAZILIAN YEARBOOK OF EDUCATION
Held by Todos, in partnership with Editora Moderna, the Brazilian Yearbook of Basic Education reached its tenth edition in August as one of the main references when it comes to monitoring Education. The publication follows all stages, modalities and specificities of Brazilian Education: from Kindergarten to Post-graduation. It has established itself as a traditional consultation tool for journalists, researchers, public administrators and all those who wish to better understand the education scenario in Brazil.
| BUDGET EXECUTION REPORT MINISTRY OF EDUCATION (MEC)
The report aims to understand the factors that impacted the availability of resources and the budget execution of the Ministry of Education (MEC), with a focus on Basic Education. It is based on the bimonthly publications of the Ministry of Economy. In this issue, published in August, we present the analysis of the portfolio's budget execution for the first two bimesters of 2021, addressing the main effects of the delay of the LOA 2021 for Basic Education.
| LEARNING REPORT
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Brazil showed an important evolution in the percentage of students with adequate learning, especially in primary education. However, the levels still remain far below what is necessary to ensure the right to education for all, especially when we observe that the advances, in general, are not accompanied by a reduction in educational inequality. These are some of the main messages of the Report "Learning in Basic Education: details of the pre-pandemic context". The document presents a balance of learning through 2019 and identifies important advances, challenges and setbacks in educational outcomes, helping to understand under what context the Covid 19 pandemic impacted the lives of millions of students.
| EVALUATION OF THE PRESENCE OF PROJECTS IN BRAZILIAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS ON RACISM, SEXISM AND HOMOPHOBIA
Todos produced and released a technical note to evaluate the presence of projects in Brazilian public schools about racism, sexism and homophobia, from 2011 to 2019. The data come from the questionnaire of the National System for Evaluation of Basic Education (Saeb) answered by school principals. The analysis shows that, in 2019, there was a reduction in the percentage of schools that declared to have projects on these themes.

These data were highlighted on CNN.

We published opinion articles in which we discussed the gradual, safe and effective resumption of classroom instruction throughout Brazil. The texts were published in News papers and portals from all regions of the country and reinforced the idea that it is necessary to go beyond the pure and simple reopening of schools and adopt essential premises both in school infrastructure and in the strategy for learning recovery.
