© UNESCO
The importance of teachers to offer a quality education for all is widely recognized by contemporary societies. However, one problem that has been faced in this field is the lack of teacher policies able to train, to attract and to maintain good teachers in the classroom. Given the importance of this issue, UNESCO, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, develops a study on the state of the art on teachers' policies in Brazil.

Abstract: Its aim is to support more integrated actions to contribute to overcome obstacles that have been identified in the area with a view to improving the quality of education, as well as to enhance the conditions of the citizenship exercise related to children, youth and adults in their educational process in public education in the country.
For this, UNESCO and MEC received the collaboration of state and municipal departments of education, supported and mobilized by CONSED and UNDIME. Both entities are providing documents and materials related to teacher's training and career development. They are also giving support to teachers of the public education network.
To complement this study, a field survey was carried out with selected educational state departments due to their nationally recognized work on the implementation of teacher policies.
Besides contributing to the Brazilian government in federal, state and municipal levels, this study intends to contribute to the regional teaching profession state of the art study, which has been coordinated by UNESCO-OREALC within the global UNESCO strategy that concerns teachers.
