Samara Martins: It makes no sense at all for Brazil.
Samara Martins: For a country that wants to develop, saying it will invest 4% in education makes no sense, because that means not investing in technology, not investing in science.
So privatizing schools, as was done in Minas Gerais, privatizing 95 schools, goes against what we have defended as liberating education, as quality education, even disrespecting the... the academic community that opposed the privatizations of schools in Minas Gerais and in other states as well.
Samara Martins: An authoritarian decision by the government to be able to put the private sector inside the schools.
Samara Martins: Our Brazilian people fought hard for school to be public, free, high-quality, and universal.
