Law No. 15.247 providing for the National Commitment to Child Literacy.

This Law creates the National Commitment to Child Literacy through the combined efforts of the Union, the States, the Federal District and the Municipalities, with the aim of guaranteeing the right to literacy for Brazilian children, a fundamental element for building successful school trajectories. The objectives of the Commitment are: implement policies, programmes and actions to ensure that Brazilian children are literate by the end of the second year of primary education; promote measures to rebuild learning, focusing on literacy and expanding and deepening the reading and writing skills of children enrolled in the education system by the end of the early years of primary school, with priority given to those who have not achieved adequate literacy standards by the second year of primary school.
