The program also includes options in Canada and Australia, offering a range of cutting-edge cultural and educational experiences.

Governor Tarcísio Increases Investment in Education

The announcement of the expansion of the exchange slots was made by Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, who took the opportunity to unveil a package of investments in municipal education. According to him, R$ 50.2 million will be allocated to 42 municipalities, as part of a total of R$ 294.8 million for construction works, acquisition of school buses, and equipment for schools.

The Selection Will Be Made via Saresp: Stay Tuned

To compete for the exchange slots, students need to pay attention to their performance on Saresp, which will now be used as a selection criterion. The goal, according to the government, is to value merit and encourage students to dedicate themselves to their studies with a focus on the future.

Exchange as a Public Policy

The proposal of the program ‘Ready for the World’ is clear: turn the exchange into a public policy of inclusion and youth empowerment. By covering all expenses, the state breaks down socioeconomic barriers and offers public school students a concrete chance for international experience and mastery of English.
