The motivation comes from the fact that this issue has represented an ongoing challenge in the Brazilian school environment. The main objective of this action is to ensure that young people remain in educational institutions, even when faced with financial obstacles. Below, we will explain how the program operates.
How will the R$ 5,000 benefit be operationalized?
Many students, when they reach the age of 14 or 15, face the conflict of balancing study and employment in order to contribute to the family's expenses. This scenario often results in school dropout. To reverse this situation, the government program plans to provide monthly financial aid to students, and also establish a type of annual savings.

The accumulated amount will be available to students upon completion of high school, and can be used to start a business or pay for higher education. Additionally, the details of the program's implementation are still being discussed, but it is already known that there will be requirements for beneficiaries, such as maintaining appropriate attendance and achieving success in the subjects studied.
When and how will implementation take place?
The project will be a collaboration between the Ministry of Education (MEC) and the Ministry of Regional Development. The institutions will use a cross-referencing of data from CadÚnico and Bolsa Família with information from the Inep School Census to identify the beneficiary students.
In conclusion, the way in which the program will be introduced, whether through a provisional measure or a bill, is still under analysis by the government. However, there is a sense of positive expectation, and President Lula is expected to make the program official in October.
