Why Does Everyone Talk About the Importance of Education but Few Do Something to Improve It?

Not coincidentally, we have diametrically opposing social classes - from one side the "luxury," the other the "rubbish." Perhaps that is why we still have (as a nation) a mania about the times of slave society, since there are many who still consider manual labor a thing for little people without merit. A country that wishes to be classified as serious needs politicians to return back to the school bench, to make the first of the most basic lessons the development of the alphabet: to eradicate illiteracy, to qualify the individual and give them the opportunity to thrive in life. And that is not done with a mere 4.3 years of study that, on average, each Brazilian is sitting on a bench at school.

Finally, we must point out here that we seek only understanding of history. Is up to you, distinguished reader, to "discover" who are the guilty culprits for the neglect of education and, more importantly, understand why everyone talks about the importance of education, especially at election time, but few are they that do something to improve it. After all, as the Frenchman Bachelard would say, "the truth is the daughter of discussion." So let's provoke more than discussion. The time is ripe.
