As it does not have a comprehensive pedagogical project and presents a low percentage of public schools that offer integral education to its students, the goal of reaching half of them in this teaching modality, until 2024, is something 'unlikely'.
The prediction was made by the NGO ‘Todos pela Educação’, based on data from the PNE (National Education Plan) Monitoring Panel, according to which, Currently, only 27% of Brazilian public schools are able to offer full-time education, a level much lower than the government target of 50% per year next.

The entity's finding takes into account the pace of growth of this educational model, since, since 2013 until today, its implementation has increased by only 5.7%.
By emphasizing the need for the full-time school to 'talk' to a 'comprehensive' pedagogical project that goes beyond traditional subjects, the Policy manager Educational members of the NGO, Ivan Gontijo, notes that the biggest 'challenge' to the success of the initiative is related to the high cost of the teaching model required by the school integral.
“The cost is two to three times higher than part-time enrollment and the main factor is food”, calculates the manager, commenting that the government project includes the creation of enrollments and the adoption of technical and financial assistance strategies, through the transfer of resources from the Union to states and counties.
According to Gontijo, another relevant factor would be related to the capacity of the public sector to finance the greater dedication of teachers, as well as the full use of schools. “A four-hour part-time school you can have up to three shifts: morning, afternoon and evening. If you look at a full-time school, you can only have one shift,” he explains.
In an attempt to reverse the slowness of this process, the Senate approved, on July 11th, a project for the implementation of the integral system in schools, which is now awaiting presidential approval. Among the actions that cover the “technical assistance” part, provided for in the text of the legislative matter, we highlight:
According to the federal proposal, the goal is to account for 3.2 million enrollments by 2026. With optional membership – both for municipal and state education systems throughout Brazil – the program will require investments of approximately R$ 2 billion until 2024.
