Details and benefits of the “Pé de Meia” program
The “Pé de Meia” program operates in a simple yet effective way. The assistance amounts are deposited directly into accounts opened in the students’ names, making it easier to access the benefit. In addition, the program extends to beneficiaries of the Youth and Adult Education (EJA), covering an age range of 19 to 24. At the beginning of the school year, students receive an initial amount, followed by monthly installments totaling R$ 2 thousand per year, conditional on proof of school attendance.

The Minister of Education, Camilo Santana, highlighted the importance of the program, emphasizing that the assistance serves as an additional incentive for young people not only to complete high school but also to take the Enem. The “Pé de Meia” program goes beyond financial support, encouraging students to pursue a solid education and thus improve their future prospects.
