Sound good?
Thank you very much, and let's get to the video.

You have played a very important role leading the Special Commission on the National Education Plan.
Desconhecido
And education, in fact, is widely known to be a cause you've championed throughout your life.
Desconhecido
We can see that your story has also been transformed by education.
Desconhecido
I think it's an example for students — look where you've gotten to: a federal deputy.

What I'd like to understand a bit is what your view is of our educational challenges in Brazil today.
Desconhecido
Listening to your answer to the first question about those extremes that have dominated the country in recent years, I also think a bit about education, because we've had advances and setbacks, ups and downs.

also somewhat in agreement with those who were in power.

So, what is the main challenge, the principal knot of education today, and how can the commission's work in creating the PNE (National Education Plan) help solve this primary issue in education?
Carolina, education is my life.
I am here because of the opportunities I had in education.
From the scholarships I received to the teachers who encouraged me.
And education is the reason I'm in politics.
It was to transform education that I ran for office for the first time seven or eight years ago.
And over these past six years or so, I've had the joy of achieving important victories.
From getting Pé de Meia approved, perhaps the most structuring project I've ever written, which today is allowing four million young people… because of that savings, that financial aid, to dream of college or a technical course, the law on sanitary pads in schools, the framework for technical education, the connectivity law, the new Fundeb, good battles and good victories as well.
But all of this, in a way, were things we've been doing that patch up holes.
But now, with the PNE and with this responsibility of presiding over the commission that is writing the plan, the guidelines for education for the next 10 years, I feel that what will be expected of me is to take an even more cross-cutting approach.
So all the work I've done focused on high school, on technical education, on early childhood, now we have to look and think about what the challenges are
that connect all those areas.
Because in the education plan we talk about everything from connectivity to valuing teachers to education for the deaf — they're all education topics, literally.
And there are three things guiding me in this very cross-cutting vision.
You've already brought up the first of them.
Those of us who truly care about the quality of education gain nothing from extremely polarized debates.
Extremes are bad; they contribute very little.
Ideology by itself, when it isn't connected to the challenges of the classroom, to the quality of education, doesn't have much to offer in this debate, in my view.
So how, in a polarized, divided Brazil like ours, can we manage to hear the best ideas from the left and the right?
to make a plan that is good for students.
I think that's the first challenge and one we're overcoming.
There have been nearly 50 public hearings, seminars in every state, and we're managing to get people from all sides to talk about what matters.
There's a second challenge, which is to design objectives that aren't just a wish list.
Anyone who is an administrator will understand what I'm talking about here.
I can set the most beautiful target in the world.
I might say, 'I want 100% of students to graduate from college within four years.'
You can write it — anything fits on paper.
But that's not a goal that speaks to our country, that reflects what we're living through.
So we're very concerned with ensuring that the goals set there are bold, that they make us move forward, but that they are feasible.
