Vol. 6 No. 2 (2021): Educação para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico

Education is a fundamental pillar for the socioeconomic development of any nation. It not only equips individuals with skills and knowledge needed for the job market, but also promotes innovation, productivity and economic growth.

In Brazil, education has been recognized as an essential driving force to transform the country's development, where more than 30% of workers do not have complete basic education. It is crucial to ensure that these individuals complete at least secondary education and have access to professional courses that prepare them for a globalized and complex economy.

Furthermore, implementing an educational system that is aligned with social, scientific and technological advances is key to increasing competitiveness in all sectors of the economy. Countries that invest in consistent and continuous public policies in education, as demonstrated by the success of nations like Vietnam in international assessments, show that it is possible to overcome socioeconomic challenges and achieve sustainable and inclusive development.
