A New Era in Brazilian Public Education

Launched in February 2024, Education + AI in Action | The Nudelman Initiative aims to improve public education in Brazil from the earliest years of schooling. Starting in Passo de Camaragibe, Alagoas, this project addresses key issues such as low literacy rates, teacher training, and lack of resources in socially vulnerable communities.

The initiative uses artificial intelligence and tablets as allies in the classroom, supporting teachers and school leaders in enhancing pedagogical practices and strengthening student learning.
