Minister wants 9th-grade students informed about higher education support
The Minister of Education announced a push to inform students about social support schemes for higher education, including state scholarships and housing subsidies, as early as the 9th grade. The goal is to prevent students from choosing study paths based on financial fears, particularly regarding mobility and living costs for displaced students. He also stated that tuition fees for non-scholarship students will be updated in the 2027/2028 academic year to reflect inflation.
Why it matters
If you are a parent or student, you should know that there are expanded support schemes for higher education, including housing and travel grants, which are designed to cover students regardless of whether they live in university residences or private rentals. However, be aware that the government intends to update university tuition fees starting in the 2027/2028 academic year for households not covered by social support.Correio da ManhãRead original ↗
