BRAZIL: Cuts threaten Rousseff’s education vision
Upon taking office for the second time on 1 January this year, President Dilma Rousseff made clear her priority for the next four years: education. The slogan for her second term would be “Brazil: Patria Educadora”. Despite government officials continuing to mouth the slogan, the austerity measures currently being implemented have resulted in cuts to the education budget. Over the past week teachers and university staff have staged large protests in cities across Brazil in protest at the cuts.
