Students from the Municipal Education Network of São Paulo can take advantage of a unique opportunity for foreign language learning with the free courses offered by the Paulist Language Study Centers (CELPs). Located in the 58 CEUs of the São Paulo capital, the courses last for 3 and a half years and are aimed at students from the 4th grade of Elementary School to the 3rd year of High School. At the end of each module – basic, intermediate, and advanced – participants receive a completion certificate. Among the available languages are German, Spanish, English, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.

With more than 8 thousand places available, classes are held in person, serving students in two shifts. In the morning, classes run from 7:00 AM to 9:15 AM and from 9:35 AM to 11:50 AM. In the afternoon, the available times are from 1:00 PM to 3:15 PM and from 3:35 PM to 5:50 PM. This initiative is managed by the Municipal Secretary of Education (SME), which aims to expand access to foreign language learning and provide cultural and educational qualifications for students in the network.

Partnerships and Program Results

Since its creation in 2022, the CELPs have established partnerships with consulates and international organizations for teacher training and the development of specific curricula for language teaching. In 2024, more than 12 thousand students were served, and in 2025, the goal of the free courses is to further solidify the offer in all regions of the city. With the recent inclusion of Asian languages such as Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, the São Paulo City Hall reinforces its commitment to cultural diversity and the training of students for global challenges.

Enrollment Process and Program Benefits

Enrollment for the free courses is done in person at the service desks of the CEUs Training Poles. To enroll, students must present ID, proof of residence, CPF, and their registration details in the Municipal Network. Each student can choose to study only one language (German, Spanish, English, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese), according to the offer available at each unit, which can be checked on the official website of São Paulo City Hall.

In addition to classes, students receive exclusive educational material and have access to a credit of R$156.60, available in the DUEPAY School Kit app, for purchasing school items in accredited stores. This support aims to ensure that participants have the necessary resources to keep up with the course with quality.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

Japanese garbage collectors treat filthy trucks as if they were dealership cars, and the obsession with cleanliness is so absurd that they invented a washing machine that only exists for this type of vehicle.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.

The Brazilian city of the crooked buildings, which is being “swallowed” by the sea, receives more than R$ 20 million after a R$ 276.6 million package for 214 cities, with transfers of R$ 2.5 million per tourist resort.

South America’s most famous oasis has an emerald lagoon formed by underground waters in the Peruvian desert. It is located 300 km from Lima, is surrounded by giant dunes, and holds a mysterious mermaid legend.

NASA is racing against time to save a telescope that is about to plummet to Earth because the Sun itself is pushing it down, and the solution is to send a spacecraft to push it back.

Cell towers were set on fire because people swore that 5G transmitted biological viruses, while scientists tried to debunk a fake news story that put hospitals, ambulances, families, and telecommunication technicians at risk.

R$ 228 million tunnel in SC replaces asphalt with concrete, and the reason explains why stretches of the Serra Catarinense last more than 40 years without needing maintenance.

China creates a unique brain for robots that combines vision, language, and action, executes up to ten steps by itself, and promises to change factories, commerce, and homes.

More than 200 robots are already descending up to 6,000 meters to track the hidden heat in the deep ocean, but scientists warn that 1,200 floats would be needed to observe the complete change in one of the planet’s least monitored regions.
