The brazilian public college is not more than a false hope The brazilian public college is not more than a false hope There are two kinds of brazilian college: the public, that government pays to the students the monthly fees, and the private, that the student pays integrally or partially the monthly fees. The only problem in this case is the poor students are not able to start an college as government says. The mith: all the brazilian people can starts and complete any public college course that they want. It sounds like a joke, because not only the academic fees are essentials to someone life. Who will buy their books and materials? Actually the transport can be free if you salary is very low, that can help the student a lot, but it is not enough. But let imagine in an hypothetical situation that the sutand has enough money to but his material, academic books and whatever what the college ask for. He will be able to study, but not for live. If the student starts an integral course, he will not able to work neither to recieve money by himself, he will not have free time. How he will get money to pay the taxes or his own food and water? Buuuuut... lets imagine again that he have money to the college, to live and pay all his taxes without work. So, he is not a poor student in a poor family. So, if you're a good brazilian person but born in a not privileged family (after all, no one chose where to born), you need to fight for your life before have a good education.
