Proposals for education are dividing presidential candidates around two expanding policies in the country: quotas, aimed at including groups historically underrepresented in higher education, and civic-military schools, which have gained space in public networks under the argument of addressing discipline and security problems.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) advocates expanding quota reservations and rejects the militarization of schools. In contrast, Flaviano Bolsonaro (PL) and Renan Santos (Mission) maintain positions against racial quotas and advocate for the presence of military personnel in schools.
Romeu Zema (Novo) also questions racial quotas and proposes expanding partnerships with militarized units, aligning himself with the camp that supports civic-military schools.
The article indicates that Ronaldo Caiado (PSD) combines positions from both camps, although the information appears incomplete in the available excerpt.
