Bolsa Família is a social support program in Brazil that provides financial assistance to low-income families, with the condition that their children attend school. This program has played a significant role in reducing dropout rates by encouraging families to keep their children in education. Brazil has already made progress in improving education through programs like this, but experts suggest that the country could expand and build on these successful initiatives, especially in areas where they have been most effective. According to Martin Raiser’s work at the Brookings Institution, Brazil has developed its own creative ways to improve education, and by learning from successful programs and discontinuing those that haven’t worked, Brazil can make better investments in its children's future, leading to more effective outcomes nationwide.
