Each Fefig Institute project is part of a larger mechanism that drives a single purpose:
Transforming public education throughout Brazil!
We develop and implement projects and programs that strengthen public education policies—from early childhood to literacy, from health to a culture of giving.
Each project is born out of in-depth technical analysis and is supported by evidence, efficient management, and strategic partnerships.
We have a single purpose: to ensure that every child has access to quality education at the right age and in environments that stimulate their full development.
– Early Childhood
Early Childhood Education Improvement Program
The Early Childhood Education Improvement Program focuses on raising the quality of education offered to children aged 0 to 5, supporting public networks in the implementation of solid, sustainable, and evidence-based educational policies.
He works in all areas that determine the quality of early childhood education: educational planning, infrastructure, teaching practices, school management, and family engagement.
Main components:
- Pact for Quality in Early Childhood Education, signed with municipal departments;
- Technical diagnosis (EAPI and INAPI) to map quality indicators and guide improvements;
- Clarity of roles and responsibilities between schools, administrators, and technical teams;
- Continuing education for teachers and administrators;
- Continuous monitoring of results and progress.
Principles:
- Sustainability: solutions tailored to local conditions and cost-effective.
- Transparency: external monitoring mechanisms and active participation of families.
Real impact:
In Patos (PB), the program transformed the city into a national benchmark, recognized as the "City of Early Childhood."
In Santa Catarina, implementation brought advances in planning, reception, and school management, with more structured and inclusive environments.
What drives us: making early childhood education a public priority, promoting qualified practices and networks capable of ensuring the comprehensive development of children.
– Literacy
1 LITERACY MANAGEMENT
Literacy Management is the Fefig Institute's flagship project, aimed at strengthening public policies and ensuring that all children become literate at the right age.
The program works with municipal education departments, combining teacher training, pedagogical management, and data monitoring to transform learning practices and outcomes.
How it works:
- Training: committees and meetings with coordinators, principals, and teachers, encouraging shared responsibility for literacy.
- Data management: use of platforms and monitoring dashboards (Power BI) that show the number of literate and illiterate students on a monthly basis.
- Technical support: ongoing advice to school teams and departments to transform data into concrete actions.
Financing models:
- Direct: via maintainers and institutional partners.
- Via the Rouanet Law: with tax incentives that allow companies and individuals to support the project and generate transparent social impact.
2024 results:
- 71% of children are literate in Portuguese.
- 70% literate in mathematics (1st to 5th grade).
Averages that exceed state performance and reflect the technical commitment of the supported networks.
What drives us: strengthening literacy as an essential public policy, ensuring that every child learns at the right time and with equity.
2 CULTIVATING LITERACY
Culturando a Alfabetização (Cultivating Literacy) is a cultural expansion of the Fefig Institute's literacy program, funded through the Rouanet Law.
Its goal is to encourage reading and democratize access to culture in public schools.
The initiative promotes:
- Distribution of supplementary textbooks with specialized curation;
- Cultural activities and reading workshops;
- Artistic events and literary circles to strengthen the bond between children, school, and community.
More than just a complementary project, Culturando enhances the Literacy Management program, transforming the act of reading into an enjoyable, everyday, and social experience.
What drives us: combining culture, art, and reading with literacy, creating critical, creative readers who are passionate about learning.
– Health and Learning
Vision at School
Visão na Escola integrates health and education, promoting prevention and eye care for public school students —an essential condition for academic performance.
The program conducts eye exams and consultations within the schools themselves, at no cost to families.
Children who are prescribed glasses receive them immediately, ensuring quick and barrier-free access.
Impact 2018–2024:
- 18,473 students served
- 12,554 screenings performed
- 4,967 visits
- 3,161 pairs of glasses donated
What drives us: removing invisible barriers to learning, ensuring that every child can see well—and, as a result, learn better.
– Strategic Partnerships
Education Partners – Municipal Networks Program
The Fefig Institute works in partnership with Parceiros da Educação (Partners in Education) to implement the Municipal Networks Program (PRM), which strengthens the governance and educational management of municipal departments.
The focus is on transforming good practices into permanent public policies, supporting municipalities in consolidating effective and sustainable teaching strategies.
Highlights of the performance:
- Participation in management forums and technical committees;
- Support in developing indicators and action plans;
- Training of educational leaders and dissemination of evidence-based methodologies.
Attendance:
The program is active in municipalities such as Ituverava and Santo André (SP), benefiting more than 25,000 students and 1,900 teachers.
What drives us: boosting the management capacity of public networks, ensuring continuity, scale, and sustainable results in education.
– Philanthropy and Social Engagement
PHILANTHROPIC: ALL FOR ALL
Filantrópicos: Todos por todos (Philanthropists: All for All ) is a philanthropic and educational program, the result of a partnership between Instituto Fefig and Turma do Jiló, created to inspire young people to exercise active citizenship and a culture of giving.
Aimed at elementary and high school students, the project offers training, experiences, and practical activities that connect theory, empathy, and social action.
Methodology:
- Meetings on social causes and citizenship;
- Partnerships with community organizations;
- Projects developed within schools, with youth leadership.
Objective: to expand to 40 schools, training multipliers of the culture of giving and influencing public policies to include the topic in school curricula.
What drives us: raising awareness of solidarity among the younger generations and showing that donating time, talent, and resources also means transforming the future.
