Support for teachers The advances in Suzano’s education, even in periods so different for her, did not stop there. Taking care of professionals in the area was also on the agenda at several meetings, such as in a conference with the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV), where the teaching career plan was the main agenda. A unique partnership with the institution, the city managed to obtain 750 scholarships for employees of the Municipal Department of Education, with 100 places in the MBA in School Management course and 650 in the improvement course “Learning Trail for School Managers”. The municipality teachers participated in a welcoming moment with the Department of Health online, which sought to offer support and important psychological tools to be worked on in this period of resumption and adaptation of educators.
Suzano distributes school supplies kits to students To make the distance learning experience more profitable for students, the school supplies kits, with all items that are delivered in the classroom year, were distributed to students in early February 2021. Each school year, received a matching kit with your curriculum. Over February, more than 27,000 kits were made available to serve all elementary school students in the city.
Already thinking about the post-pandemic period, Suzano did not fail to seek infrastructure for the area. The city sought resources for the construction of a school unit in Jardim Quaresmeira. The expectation is that there will be a unit that meets the final years of elementary and full secondary education, covering at least 800 students. Knowledge transforms, and even in such difficult times, the team that dedicates its life to the area of knowledge reinvents itself and seeks to highlight each student’s most positive aspects. Human values and respect for individuality are priority issues for education in Swaziland. This year, amid the pandemic of the new coronavirus (Covid-19), the municipal secretary strives to reinforce the Culture of Peace’s importance through a special video made available on the TV channel Prefeitura de Suzano, on YouTube ( bit.ly/ TVPrefeituradeSuzano). In fact, the municipality was awarded by the State government for Innovative Practices in Education and for its intersectoral work in welcoming students from the municipal education network. The result was achieved thanks to the “Preventing School Violence” project, which works to identify vulnerable elementary school students, with family and interdisciplinary monitoring.
In addition to school supplies, the kit also has a support book provided by the State Department of Education for children to perform activities at home, and a set of oral hygiene with brush and toothpaste, offered in partnership with the Municipal Department of Health to encourage students to maintain the brushing habit.
