Abstract

ABSTRACT: Based on the reforms of the Brazilian primary education, particularly in high school, a comparative analysis with the educational system of other countries may be useful to understand the “lower levels of learning” in Brazil, which are measured through the 2015 Program for International Student Assessment. This study proposes to specifically examine the universalization and mandatory nature of the primary education and structural conditions of education considered to be successful in countries like England and Finland. The analysis was based on primary and secondary sources. (AU)
