Lorena Carvalho, a CeiED research trainee and UNESCO Education Project Officer for Brazil, attended the launch of the Global Campaign for Public Education on December 9 at the Education and Culture Committee (CE).

During the event, Lorena highlighted that education funding is one of the main bottlenecks preventing populations in less developed countries from having guaranteed access to public education.

UNESCO and the World Bank maintain an Observatory on Education Financing. Data from 2022 reveals that the primary obstacle to expanding access to quality education worldwide lies in the lack of funding. Middle- and low-income countries spend approximately $55 per student, compared to an average of $8,300 per student in high-income countries.

According to Lorena Carvalho, the heavy burden of public debt in these countries is closely tied to the low investment in public education. The greater the public debt, the lower the investment in education.

On December 13, 2024, Rosa Serradas Duarte, researcher at CeiED, and André Robert, a member of the External Advisory Board participated in the VI São Paulo Meeting of the ASTE Network. They led a session titled “The Influences, Consequences, and Possibilities of Overcoming Neoliberalism in Education?” The session was coordinated by Adriana Migliavacca from the Universidad Nacional de Luján (Argentina).

The event, held for the first time at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the São Paulo State University (UNESP), Campus of Presidente Prudente, was co-organized by the Research Group on History and Theory of the Teaching Profession and Social Educators (GRUPHIS) of the Graduate Program in Education (PPGE) at the University of Nove de Julho (UNINOVE), in collaboration with the Research Group on Labor, Health, and Subjectivity (NETSS), from the Graduate Program in Education (PPGE) at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). The main theme of the event focused on the associative and unionist tasks in combating neoliberalism in education and active solidarity with the Palestinian people—calling for an immediate end to the human extermination in Gaza and the Cisjordânia.

The event took place in a hybrid format, with remote presentations of communications and posters, while roundtable discussions, working meetings, book launches, and academic conversation circles were held in person.
