Training with USP Certification
All courses have a workload of up to 30 hours and provide official certification from USP, a differential for educators’ resumes.
For many professionals, this qualification represents an opportunity to expand job opportunities and stand out in their careers.
Experts in education emphasize that continuing education is essential to keep up with the rapid technological and social changes that impact the teaching-learning process.
According to recent studies, constant training is linked to improved student performance and reduced school dropout rates, a challenge faced by many Brazilian education networks.
The Importance of the Meeting for National Education
Founded in 1999, the USP-School Meeting has established itself as a bridge between universities and schools, strengthening collaboration and contributing to raising the quality of public and private education in Brazil.
The event not only updates professionals on technical and pedagogical content but also stimulates debate on contemporary educational challenges, promoting innovative and inclusive practices.
According to USP, the meeting represents a valuable channel for knowledge exchange, where theory and practice meet to prepare educators for the demands of the 21st century.
