Brazil's Chamber of Deputies approves main text of new document on secondary education

It is expected to be an alternative to the secondary education reform of 2017

The Brazilian Chamber of Deputies approved the main text of a bill that changes the national policy for Brazilian secondary education. The proposal calls for 2,400 hours of instruction for basic general education (all three years together) and 1,800 hours for technical education. The proposal must also be considered and passed by the Senate.

The approved bill is an alternative to the 2017 secondary education reform, which provided 1,800 hours for basic education, including 1,200 hours for pupil-selected subjects. The government's new proposal sets a minimum of 2,400 hours of basic education. This is reported by Brasil 247, a partner of TV BRICS.

The approved version leaves Spanish optional and retains the possibility of hiring non-degree professionals to teach subjects along the technical vocational route.

The training routes will have a minimum duration of 600 hours and will consist of a deepening of fields of study with the following emphases: languages; mathematics; natural sciences; applied humanities and social sciences; and technical and vocational training.
