=﻿Brasília= In Brazil, there are different forms of organization of education. Here in Brasília, in first place there were just a few schools, but in the course of time some teachers from these old schools resigned and created other schools. At Centro Educacional Sigma school, in Asa Norte, that by the way is an exellent school, with the best teachers of Brasília maybe of Brazil. You can start school at the age of four, in schools specializing in babies and after that with six years old you can start in Elementary education, when you have around fifteen years you start High School, which has tree parts (First Year, Second Year and Third Year) one year each.When you finish this school's part, that you were been prepared ,you've to do the PAS's test or twice a year you can do a vestibular, to join in the University.All this years you were prepared to do this test, which measure your knowledge, after that, youy can choose what you want to do, your profession. But here in Brazil, before you join the university you have to do compulsory subjects, like Math,Portuguese,Chemistry,Physics.In Brasília the best part of the system of education is in private schools,our desire is to make that public schools are as good as the private, because there is a large portion of people who can't pay for a exelent education.In case of the universities, if you graduate in a public university, that's good, because in Brazil, University has a NAME, in your curriculum this point will be destacaded.For you join the university you've to study a lot and not to mention the competition,the people that'll compete with you are very, very, very inteligent and it's a high level of knowledge, people who come of all parts of Brazil to do the Vestibular or Public Concorse. In my school our classes begin 7:15 am and finish at 12:50,out others activities that I have to do and study all the subjects of the school all the afternoon.Here in Brasilia we have another way to get into UnB (Which is Brasilia's Public University). Instead of taking one exam in the end of High School, you can make three exams, each one in the end of each grade of High School, then they take your grades, calculate you punctuation and tell you if you got a good classification and if you can get or not into the university but the government created a way to facilitate the entry of those students of public schools at the "UnB", that was the quota systems and these quotas are also valid for the afrodescendans, decreasing vacancy rates that are usually crowded, what means that is so difficult to pass in this exam (Vestibular). Our school is called Sigma, and is surely one of the best in Brasília. Sigma is the school that have the best approval ratings in the "Vestibular" and so it is a much sought-after institution. The methods of teaching of Sigma is very difficult and we have to devote most of our time just studying. Our classes began at 7:15 am and finish at 12:50 am, while this, we study several subjects that were mentioned above. Here in Sigma we have a lot of extra-curricular activies, most of them are projects that can add extra grades (or better saying, they aren't extra, the students who were chosen, have to work a lot in this project, but don't have to study for the tests of some subjects of Sigma, and the grades that they took in the project will be converted to the grades of the subjects that they didn't need to do the test) to few students who have enrolled and were selected by the teachers. These projects are really nice and they're a single way to meet new people, have fun and start new friendships. An example of project that we have here is "Sigma Mundi". This project is a very close simulation of what happens in United Nations (UN); It encourages the students to behave as if they were real diplomats and representatives of coutries participating in UN and they speak about problems of their countries and discuss searching for solutions. After the simulation the participants get together and they do a Cultural Night, where they can show the culture of the country that they represent.

** The kindergarten is the one in which children enter before the compulsory education. The children, who are between 0( zero) and 6(six) years old, are encouraged to do activities and games that helps their motor skills, the process of discovering and understanding the world around they, and start the process of literacy, adding and subtraction. After that, the children start the fundamental grades, which goes from first to the ninth grade with children to 6(six) from 14(fourteen) years old. Till the end of that one, the teenager will already have a good notion about the subjects studied through that period, which are Math, __Portuguese__, Geography, History, Sciences (A little about biology, physics and chemistry), Arts, Sports, Computing, English, Spanish and some others. Then the High School starts, it has three grades and teenagers are from 15(fifteen) to 18(eighteen) years old. Those people are meant to have a deeper study and even more compromise with their future, knowing that's the period they are being prepared to get into a University. In this time, those teenagers have to choose which University they will going on. To join the University the students have to do a test whose name is "Vestibular", in which the competition is crowded, and they have to choose a curse. After that, they beginning to attend college. Normally, the students starts this curse with 18(eighteen) years old. After the university, It's possible to get a other degree, call master's degree, that values your university degre. **

In our country we have two different kinds of school: the public and private one. They both should be at least similar, but unfortunately they are not. We study in a particular school which has an excellent education.Therefore, in public schools the things are a little bit different, you can find some good public schools, but most of them are not. We, Brazilians who are into this project, are the minority part of the population, what means we have a good enough economic life to pay expensive to get a better education than most Brazilians. It is really sad for people who cannot pay a private school, because where you've studied at makes a lot of difference, when you are trying to get into the university, knowing you need to take an exam in the end of High School and depending on your results you will know if you had a good enough classification to be into the course you want. The public university in Brazil is diferent: have a good teaching. Here in Brazil, unfortunately in some public schools face great, difficulties as teacher strikes, lack of security since in the private schools whenever there is a teacher shortage there are ohters to replace them.



=Curiosites about education in Brazil= •In Brazil, there are many states which made all this huge country. which state has its own kind of education. All of them has 3 years of high school, but some give all the subjects only in 2 years and uses the last for revision. •The newest constitution takes 25% of budget of the govern and 18% of public taxation for education. •In Brazil children can start studying with 4 years old, however they usually starts with 6 years old
