What happened in 2007?
An impressive 62,000 people in 18 states came together in Action Week activities, motivated by the fight for Education Rights in Brazil. They took part in education workshops, public acts, debates and lectures. In the federal capital 12,000 professionals and activists took part in a Pay the Minimum or Pay the Price march. A hearing was also held with the Education and Culture Committee of the House of Representatives, which was attended by 39 congressmen. The week received excellent media coverage on radio, TV and newspapers and websites. The Brazilian Campaign made public the results of its study Initial Cost of Quality Education per Student (CAQi, in Portuguese). CAQi is a methodology that calculates how much should be invested in basic education, per student in Brazil, taking into account elements such as teachers' wages, equipment, books and other materials that are essential to an adequate learning.
