Literacy Brazil Survey: check the results!

A Literacy Brazil survey was released this Wednesday (31) by the Ministry of Education (MEC) and the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep).

The survey was carried out in April and May of this year with professors and specialists. The objective was to identify the set of skills that define whether or not a child is literate.

In this sense, skills were presented that characterize the learning profile of reading and writing that is expected at the end of the second year of elementary school.

With this, the study contributes to the promotion of policies for assessing children's literacy in Brazil.

Brazil Literacy Survey

The Alfabetiza Brasil survey presents a cutoff score for the Basic Education Assessment System (Saeb) test applied in the 2nd year of elementary school.

Note 743 of the Saeb represents then the minimum that the student can reach to be considered literate.

The survey showed a comparison of the number of children considered literate according to the performances achieved in the 2019 and 2021 editions of Saeb. Look:
