The percentage of people with no education or who did not complete primary education fell by almost half, from 63.2% to 35.2%, equivalent to 71,000 people. At the same time, the number of inhabitants with a higher education degree grew almost three-fold, from 6.8% to 18.4%, equivalent to 37,300 people. There are still major regional contrasts: in 2022, the Brazilian state with the highest proportion of people aged over 25 with a higher education degree was the Federal District (37%), while Maranh\u00e3o was the lowest (11%); of the state capitals, Florian\u00f3polis in Santa Catarina and Vit\u00f3ria in Esp\u00edrito Santo had the highest proportion of people with a higher education degree (41.8%), while Manaus had the lowest (19.8%); of municipalities with more than 100,000 inhabitants, S\u00e3o Caetano do Sul in S\u00e3o Paulo had the highest average number of years of study among people aged 25 or over (12.7 years), while the lowest average was found in Breves, Par\u00e1, with 6.5 years (IBGE, February 26).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Census shows that the number of people without an education has halved since 2000, while the number of graduates has tripled","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1651],"tags":[226],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-567432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-notes","tag-education"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/567432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=567432"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/567432\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":567437,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/567432\/revisions\/567437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=567432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=567432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=567432"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=567432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
