Overview
| Educational Levels in Brazil
KPMG
The Law of Directives and Bases of Education
establishes the division of Brazilian education into
two levels: basic education and higher education.
Basic Education
Basic education is made up of kindergarten,
elementary school and high school. Under the
responsibility of the municipalities, early
childhood education can be free, but it is not
mandatory. In it, the student can attend day care
centers from 0 to 3 years and pre-school from 4
to 5 years.
Kindergarten: Kindergarten is subdivided according
to the age of the children, being:
1. Nursery: for babies and newborns;
2. Maternal: for children from 0 to 3 years of age;
3. Pre-school: for children aged 3 to 5 years that are
divided into periods according to age.
Elementary Education: Elementary education consists of one of the levels of basic education,
mandatory in Brazil. It lasts for nine years and is mostly aimed at people aged between 6 and 14
years.
The law determines that enrollment in elementary school is mandatory, being a joint
responsibility between those responsible for the child and the government.
⚫ It is up to the parents or guardians of the students to enroll, while the State is responsible for
guaranteeing the supply of the necessary number of places in public schools. However, this
educational service can also be offered by private education.
Secondary Education: Secondary education is the last stage of basic education in Brazil. It has
an average duration of three years and precedes admission to higher education.
• The objective of this teaching stage is to provide training aimed at the labor market, in
addition to improving the knowledge of citizens already acquired in the previous stages and
as a human being endowed with reason.
Although secondary education is the final stage of basic education, it is not yet considered
mandatory and according to the Law of Guidelines and Bases (LDB) on education, this
responsibility rests with the States. They have the role of progressively making secondary
education mandatory, making more places available to all graduates of primary education, as
established in the National Education Plan (PNE).
Secondary education can also be offered along with training for the exercise of technical
professions, provided that this type of education meets the training and the general objective
of this stage.
