Brazil has seen real progress in widening education access for its children
As an emerging nation striving to strengthen its economy, Brazil is making serious investment in scientific education.
Seeking to build a skilled and productive workforce, President Dilma Rousseff has made a point of expanding programmes that encourage families to enrol their children into schools.
She has also launched initiatives, such as the Science Without Borders programme, which aims to send thousands of students to universities abroad, including the US.
