For two months, reporters Eduardo Faustini and Luiz Cláudio Azevedo went through public schools in the states that had the lowest averages in the Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa). The route of them is around 20, 30 kilometers. Many agree two or three hours in the morning to pick up a truck, for that light truck to the highway, the highway to come from a provided by the City Hall transport: the school bus, said a resident of Joaquim Gomes, in Alagoas . The street is just like that. Boys, we through them in the arm, because it does not want to see them wet. Notebook, they do not, says a resident of Jaboatão Guararapes in Pernambuco . This water is not ideal to be taken, and especially to give her children. That there is a total germ. I work here, but I also do not drink it, says one man. Has student who falls to the portfolio, especially the smaller, early childhood education, says a resident of Codo, in Maranhão . When you have the need to go to the bathroom, we go to the bush. The students and the teacher, said one woman. The report shows that schools are lacking in all schools that even remotely resemble a school. What is not lacking willpower students, teachers and parents who suffer from the terrible conditions of teaching. Suffer and are outraged. Hey, four years without receiving uniform, here, O, says one mother. Without receiving uniform, with no one paying attention to us, said another mother. The children are the scorned people in here, he complains. Fantastic entry shows the status of a municipal school in Jaboatão Guararapes, Pernambuco. When it rains, water invades and arrive wet, dirty everything. Then the situation. There has not. A good drinker does not. Toilet paper is not, says the mother of student Maria dos Santos Bethany. Outraged, she says that the teachers ask parents to cleaning supplies: They ask us for a broom, ask detergent. Its whatever to put here. Here to help. And since the poor things have spend almost a month without receiving. Then how is that? . This is the reality of public schools in Alagoas, Pernambuco and Maranhão. In the latest survey of the Brazilian Programme for International Student Assessment (Pisa), these states are among those who had the lowest average scores. The reporters of the Fantastic spent two months recording the conditions of schools in these states. Fantastic: What time do you leave home? Williana Smith (student): Four hours. Everton Cavalcante Guedes (student): The time that I leave the house, the maximum is 4:10 a.m., 3:50 a.m. but I wake. Only one way to Everton and williana to go to school truck. It has a base of about 55 students that we will (sic) that truck. Only you have the difficulty of the road, explains the driver José Fernandes de Melo. It is a dirt road. After that trip, in Joaquim Gomes, Alagoas, is that they take the school bus from city hall. But what about when it rains? On a sunny day, we can (sic). When it rained, can not get here, says the driver. The way to go ... then its Walking. Outside the slope that has to go up, williana account. Or ... You stay in the same house, unable to go to school, admits Everton. Already in Great Pond, in Pernambuco, who will have no truck buggy. Francis says his daughter, Rosileide, complains when the school can not function. In Codo, Maranhão, Andre and his cousin, Eduardo, are cowboys morning. In the afternoon, walk 35 minutes to school. For there lack almost everything. Do not miss affection. You are saved on the left side of my heart. So welcome more this year than we have here to work, to improve, to see our hits, announced the teacher. In Jaboatão Guararapes, Pernambuco, reaching a school like this is not easy, also enter can be quite difficult, as was seen in the beginning of the story. In front of another school in the same city, the situation is even worse: the drain is open. And still a third school faces the same problem in the same municipality. Its six years ago as well. Now, is what we say for mothers: lets get us as employees. We are workers, we need to preserve open to school students, said school secretary Maria Vieira de Araújo. Fantastic: How the lady arrived today to teach? What was the situation that you encountered in the classroom? Auriele Galvão (teacher): The whole school was flooded. Not dripping, rain is the same. I pull all the chairs, boto worldwide pro corner and puts buckets here. The water falls todinha the wall. Even Ive lost jobs we carries with students, puts on display on the walls, but then everything falls, watering everything. You might think its a city far from the major centers, but it is not: Jaboatão Guararapes is about six kilometers from the most expensive square meter of reef on the beach of Boa Viagem. Finally, the class starts, including the indigenous school Pajé Selestino Miguel da Silva, in Palmeira dos Indios, in Alagoas. What is missing is the classroom itself. Fantastic: How many years do you give lessons in this situation here? Jecinaldo Xucuru Cariri (teacher): For over two years Ive been teaching classes under the mango tree. It is quite complicated, because suddenly comes a rain, so everyone has to run and drop the class. In a shed, works another room. It is a situation of improvisation, because the original seat of the school is no longer able to use and is interdicted. In the shed, students are squeezed. Besides the discomfort, has the danger. The municipal school in Codo, Maranhão, is called Divine Providence and expects action long ago. Fantastic: How long has this school is that? As it is so today. Deusdet Oliveira Matos (merchant): Having more than 15 years. The Deusdet is a marketer who built the school 50 years ago, and the way it can continue taking care of her. Deusdet Oliveira Matos: When is dripping, Im shot the groove. Now, this year I would make this brick wall, but I have not done. Fantastic: What drives you to take care of this school? Deusdet Oliveira Matos: The spirit of humanity, in order to assist the children of the residents are not created illiterate. The situation, as you see, since last year we are that way. The lack of chair, sit down and not have the arm of the chair. They are hard to write. And Im using my table, so that they are more comfortable. What can I do Im doing, says Juciara de Souza, a professor in Petrolina, Pernambuco. In one of the chairs you can see screw out. I wish we had good seats and would not be broken, says one student. Weve had cases of children miss class because I had no chair, says mother of student Edineide Helena da Costa. The floor of the school is not suitable for the type of wallet because wallets, as you can see, is a pipe. Then, they sink to the ground. Then have students that even falls. Then cries due to hit the floor, here we do not know if this is a climb, or there is a decrease. It is a total gap. Because it was a dwelling house here. He was a person who lived here. Then set up this school here for them, says Rosa Maria Pereira Cunha, teacher at Codo, Maranhão. The schools visited by the reporter Eduardo Faustini are in very hot regions. In the halls, everyone complains about the heat. Its hot. In the heat does not support anyone, complains the student Mayara Nunes de Alencar, in Petrolina, Pernambuco. It has a fan, but in the other room. A fan is not sufficient for the student. It is very student, says the caretaker Josiane Barbosa da Silva, of Great Pond, Pernambuco. In other schools, one, two or a lot of fans, would solve nothing, because they have no electricity. Rosa Maria Pereira Cunha (teacher at Codo, Maranhão): When it rains, it gets dark. Fantastic: There is no light. Rosa Maria Pereira Cunha has not. There is no light. How to drink water in these conditions? And how to make meals? For drinking water, we handle water with the owner of the land. Grab a bottle of water and bring hither, he is also missing folder says teacher Eliete de Araújo Lobes. I work here, but I also do not drink it, because we see the water situation. That there is a total germ. Up there has a Pisador Pisador horse and ox. Has some oxen that stand behind there who drink this water over the dam there, José Dionisio Justin professor at Joaquim Gomes, Alagoas. Celso Selestino (Agent sanitation in Palmeira dos Indios, Alagoas): No treatment. The way it goes here, she supplies the city and has no treatment. Fantastic: Now has a filter system to protect this water? Celso Selestino: No. The filter you have here only that here, has no filter. The staff is there to coa water and gives the child to drink. The pit is inside the kitchen, and the breath is in the kitchen. Where the meals ready enough and we have to serve meals in this industry, says an official of Jaboatão Guararapes, Pernambuco. Usually the meals only appear from May to June. It is usually at this time that appears meals, says an employee of a school in the town of Codo, Maranhão. Its hard to reach. And when it comes, we join with our neighbor on there, that helps me too, and then we make the meals for these children. And if not, they eat fruit in season. That way, says Professor Maria do Amparo dos Anjos. Professor of Great Pond, in Pernambuco: Sometimes no school because it has a snack. Fantastic: Difficult, is not it? Teacher: Its complicated. Fantastic: How do you, so feel taking care of these children in this situation? Professor: So, I feel ... small, right? Their studentsre not growing. You feel like you have diminishingre not increasing. Then, if the student has to eat and makes your meal, its time to brush your teeth. But in that bathroom? The water that we have to put in a discharge. Yesterday, who did the cleaning was us, the teachers. Oh, here has the tap , denounces the teacher Marilucia Gomes de Sá, a professor in Petrolina, Pernambuco. Last year they studied without bathroom had no toilet, said Francisco da Silva, father of a student in Lagoa Grande, Pernambuco. Josiane Barbosa (caretaker in Lagoa Grande, Pernambuco): Oh, here is this bathroom. There is no light, all esculhambado. So doing out there, but started and not finished yet. Fantastic: The download works? Josiane Barbosa: No. Fantastic: How does the student need when going to the bathroom? Employee: The boys go behind the school, and the girls on the other side, as well as their teacher. We do not have bathrooms. Fantastic: The Lady uses the bush when ... Employee: Also. End of class, time to go home. Lama, long and dangerous journey on another day of the school year. These schools go through many difficulties. For many teachers, the situation is even more difficult because they have to teach to several classes at once. Its called, quite common multigrade teaching in Brazil. Fantastic: While the lady is giving a lesson to a class, the other waits, is how it is done? Teacher: It is. Whenever I start by early childhood education,re already learning motor skills. I go first. Then go to the one that is already there in the fourth, fifth year. Some of the schools shown in the report provide students less than the minimum of the minimum. An elementary school with infrastructure have to have water, toilet, sewer, electricity and kitchen. Almost half of Brazilian schools is so. There are 87 thousand, or 44.5% of all schools in the country, according to a study by researchers at the University of Brasília and the Federal de Santa Catarina. Schools with poor overall structure are public schools and many of these schools are rural. If we take schools serving students with equivalent socioeconomic status, those with better structure tend to provide better results, says José Joaquim Soares Neto, a researcher at UNB. The school has adequate infrastructure to the staff room, library, computer lab, sports court and playground. It also offers internet access and copy machine. And the school with modern infrastructure has it all and yet science lab and facilities for students with special needs. From 195 thousand Brazilian schools, about a thousand are advanced. This represents 0.6% of the total. In general, these schools are in regions such as South and Southeast, added the researcher. In all this, what is it that takes all these Brazilians, students, teachers as well as parents, to move on? Professor Elias Ferreira da Silva has undergone some of these situations that you just saw, came to the university and now teaches at St. Joseph School in Alagoas, one of the students who need the truck to go to class. It is precisely this that they will have a better future that make it have that force out 30 kilometers, 20 kilometers, 15 kilometers to get to school, says Elias Ferreira da Silva. Last year, when I came here, everything was falling, so I sat down and honestly, I cried, says a teacher. I wanted it to be big, I had several teachers, although I like all my teachers, they teach me very well, said one student. I always say this, I think the people who work in the Rural Zone, we are actually heroines, says a woman. Despite these faraway places as possible, you are the future of this nation, building his own history, helping to raise more this country so great, says a teacher. The City of Codo, Maranhão, says in a note that is improving infrastructure in rural schools. Says that in the last five years, have been built and equipped 150 new classrooms. And that building over 28 schools in the next two years is expected. See what other public agencies have to say: The city of Jaboatão Guararapes reported on Friday (7) that the repair work is underway. We have recovered 51 schools and a schedule of implementation by the end of the year. The three schools visited, from the production of images until the present date, we have solved more than 90% of what you filmed, said Secretary of Education Guararapes Francisco Amorim. The Department of Education Joaquim Gomes in Alagoas states that have projects with the Ministry of Education for federal funds to restore rural and also urban schools. New chairs are being bought and repairs are being made in schools. The Secretary of Education of Great Pond, in Pernambuco, says the council is working in recovery schools in urgency.
