Do you believe that specializations like these should be available in other areas? How can Brazil expand access to professional education?
I will love to take this course, I am very interested, I am a mediator teacher in the municipal network
I always try for specialization vacancies, however I never get them because I don't have much experience...
I believe that this is a barrier that causes inequality and weakens education. I am a person who studied late, which makes doors very closed!
