Overview

In Brazil, homeschooling is prohibited, and the parents must go to the nearest public school and request to enrol their child, bringing both their own and the child's identification documents at the time of registration to generate a Student Registration Number. Migrant children without additional documents, such as a birth certificate or school records, must still be enrolled without discrimination. Adults who have not completed their studies at the appropriate age can also join specific courses. Those over 15 can finish primary education, while those over 18 can complete secondary education through EJA or CEEJA. Additionally, migrants can apply for tests to study at a university or apply for vocational training through PRONATEC, which offers courses to enhance job market opportunities. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that best fits your situation.
