\nand planned initiatives for the year<\/p>\n
Divinol\u00e2ndia, in Brazil\u2019s southeastern state of S\u00e3o Paulo, was among the municipalities to participate in this year\u2019s Partnership for Education (PVE) alignment event organized by Companhia Brasileira de Alum\u00ednio (CBA) and the Votorantim Institute. The event, held this year in a virtual format due to the COVID-19 pandemic, presented the national Program plan for 2021. The PVE Program aims to improve public education in the municipalities where Votorantim and its portfolio companies operate through initiatives in partnership with municipal governments and municipal education offices.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s alignment event featured workshops, lectures and roundtables with education experts from across Brazil. In the workshop series, participants discussed practical approaches to public education in Brazil and providing continued schooling for children who are homebound because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n
From adapting to the challenges created by COVID-19 in 2020, in 2021 the Program will shift to planning with the new municipal administrations to continue to secure students\u2019 education rights and help them catch up on lost learning. Meanwhile, the different Program fronts have continued to support local education offices in managing the pandemic, implementing the Brazilian National Curriculum (BNCC), using the Basic Education Maintenance and Development Fund (FUNDEB), and implementing hybrid learning models.<\/p>\n
The COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020<\/p>\n
Amid and despite the coronavirus pandemic, participating municipalities continued their initiatives within the PVE under safety protocols recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). To assist citizens in need, facilitators collected and distributed masks, and created a program of virtual events to ensure all participants could stay connected.<\/p>\n
Divinol\u00e2ndia\u2019s onboarding was among the highlights in the 2020 edition of the PVE Program. Efforts to mobilize the community included videos posted on Facebook to encourage participation by children sheltering at home, and online lectures for education professionals.<\/p>\n
