Brazilian Education and Language

I recently learned that Brazil is the only Latin American nation who speaks Portuguese with the exceptions of Amerindians and immigrants from Japan and South Korea who haven't acquired yet the Portuguese language.

Although their government is spending and offering free primary education, most students ended on early labor to compensate their family needs. Little are those who can afford university education, mainly those well-connected and wealthy families, and others from ambitious middle class families.


Education is their key to success, however, the result is discrimination, corruption and violence among uneducated people.
