Brazilians need to overcome prejudice against technical education
In Brazil, 6.6% of students attend regular high school together with some form of vocational education. In OECD countries – the group of rich nations – the rate is 46%.
The number is repeated frequently by the director general of Senai, Rafael Lucchesi, to convince any party that for the sake of Brazilian competitiveness, the country needs to change their idea about there only being one way to university studies for those who finish high school.
“We have to overcome this corporate resistance that believes a technical education is no good at building citizenship. It’s complete nonsense”, said Lucchesi, who is also director of Education Technology and the National Confederation of Industry (CNI).
According to him, the starting salary of the ten professions with technical training most sought after by the market outweigh the average from those with university dipolomas. But the benefits are not only for those who complete a technical course, they also benefit the country.
