Nov 8, Brasilia: Nov 5, is the National Day of the Portuguese Language, the fifth most spoken language in the world, the first most spoken in the entire southern hemisphere and the official language of our nation. Born from the Latin of the Roman people, the language was brought by Portuguese navigators to the lands of the New World and, today, children learn in the kind voice of their mothers.


With this in mind, the Ministry of Education created the Conta pra Mim program, as early childhood is the most important period for a child's linguistic development. It is the ideal step to promote the acquisition of skills, knowledge and attitudes that will facilitate the learning of reading and writing. In the initiative, parents interact, talk and read aloud with their children following a list of suggestions available on the project's website.



After intense debates with academics, international education actors, municipal and state secretaries, teachers, directors, pedagogical coordinators, members of the third sector and civil society, the portfolio created Tempo de Aprender, which is the most complete literacy program in the history of Brazil. Primarily intended for children in the last year of pre-school and the 1st and 2nd year of an elementary school in Brazilian public schools.

Tempo de Aprender is a program whose purpose is to tackle the main causes of literacy deficiencies in the country. Among them, the following stand out: a deficit in the pedagogical and managerial training of teachers and managers; lack of materials and structured resources for students and teachers; deficiencies in monitoring the progress of students; and low incentive for the performance of literacy teachers and educational managers.


Portuguese exalted by the world

With these and other actions, the National Literacy Policy (PNA), instituted by Decree nº 9.765, of April 11, 2019, increases the reach of thousands of children, young people and adults to epic poems, popular puns, great classics of literature, lullabies, that is, the strength and subtlety of the Portuguese language.



Portuguese was explored and extolled to the whole world through the words of great poets, novelists, explorers and statesmen, such as Camões, Bocage, Machado de Assis, Pero Vaz de Caminha and José Bonifácio.

For Miguel de Cervantes, an important Castilian writer, Portuguese is sweet and pleasant, the soundest language in the world. Ariano Suassuna, in defence of the language, declared that the first cultural asset of a country is its language. Therefore, by recognizing the greatness of the Portuguese language, we honour our culture, nation, history and family. Only those who love their language truly love their country.
