Good evening.
Desconhecido
The first electoral debate of 2026 begins with this gift for you and for all of us here in the studio.
Desconhecido
An exclusive performance by the SESI Baquiana Orchestra, conducted by the great maestro João Carlos Martins, performing this music that for a long time has been synonymous with democracy.

Positioned here in Band's studio, very close to the Palácio dos Bandeirantes, are the two main candidates for governor of the State of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas and Fernando Haddad.
Desconhecido
By the way, today is Father's Day. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank both of them for being here, congratulate Tarcísio, father of Matheus and Letícia, and congratulate candidate Fernando Haddad, father of Frederico and Ana Carolina — at least on this point they start tied here on our... And to say, thanking on behalf of Grupo Bandeirantes, reaffirming Band's long tradition of kicking off the electoral race.

In addition to Band (free-to-air), this debate is broadcast live on Band News TV, on the radio stations Band News FM and Bandeirantes.

Let's quickly go over the rules that were agreed with both campaigns.
Desconhecido
In the first part, each candidate will have two minutes to answer the same question posed by the moderator.
Desconhecido
Next, the first head-to-head confrontation.
Desconhecido
Each candidate will have 20 minutes available to manage as they see fit.
Desconhecido
Movement is free, but while one is speaking, the other should avoid abrupt gestures or reactions that could disrupt the opponent's train of thought.
Desconhecido
In the second block... Four journalists from Grupo Bandeirantes will ask questions, alternating between the candidates.
Desconhecido
The time for the response is two minutes, followed by a one-minute comment and a one-minute reply.
Desconhecido
The third block begins with a new head-to-head confrontation between the candidates, following the same rules.
Desconhecido
20 minutes available for each to manage as they see fit.
Desconhecido
Finally, the two candidates will have two minutes each to make their closing statements.
Desconhecido
The speaking order during the debate was determined by a prior draw in the presence of both campaigns.
Desconhecido
It is worth remembering that in the case of a personal or moral offense, the candidate may request a right of reply and a commission present here at Band, made up of a lawyer and two journalists, will evaluate the request in the same block.
Desconhecido
If granted, the time will be one minute.
Desconhecido
And the first question addressed here to both candidates is the following: I will ask about education.
- Neutral
Desconhecido
About: improve the quality of education
This week we had the release of IDEB, the Basic Education Development Index, and São Paulo... both at the elementary school level and also at the high school level, which is the state's direct responsibility, São Paulo is basically at the national average.
- Neutral
Desconhecido
About: improve the quality of education
In high school it increases by 0.1, the national average increases by 0.2, behind states with a much smaller GDP, like Piauí and Pará.
Desconhecido
When we look at the national and state levels, we see that this is a similar situation.
- Neutral
Desconhecido
About: improve the quality of education
Brazil is not a reference in education.
Desconhecido
Governor Tarcísio, the candidate, has been in charge for the last four years.
Desconhecido
And also candidate Fernando Haddad, who was Minister of Education for seven years and also mayor of São Paulo for four years.
Desconhecido
When we look for reference, even in South America, Chile is far ahead in the world rankings.
Desconhecido
In Asia, South Korea and Vietnam are important examples.
Desconhecido
And I will take an example here from Brazil.
Desconhecido
In the northeastern sertão, in Inajá, the NGO Amigos do Bem achieved, where there was absolutely nothing, an IDEB score of 9.8.
- Neutral
Desconhecido
About: improve the quality of education
So I would like to ask, looking across all levels and given that in recent decades we have not managed to boost education in Brazil and also in São Paulo as it could or should, to ask the candidates which proposals, if they are in charge of São Paulo over the next four years, would change that reality and make São Paulo be at the top and become a reference.
Desconhecido
We start with the drawn order; the first to respond.
Desconhecido
Candidate Tarsísio de Freitas, candidate, two minutes for the response.
Desconhecido
Good evening.
