Although Brazil's economy just passed UK's and positioned as sixth, the education standards are at 53rd of the world. It raises a problem because country's natural resources have built the nation's wealth, but to be able to align with China, Brazil needs human resources. The inflation is getting higher; therefore, its economic growth is pulling back. Even though there are a good amount of students going to school, the teaching qualities are very low. Teachers started teaching without any practical training. The parents of some students hardly finished school, stopping their education at 4th or 5th grade. For building complex infrastructures such as dams, and highways, Brazil needs to hire engineers from foreign countries like Portugal. Currently constructing stadiums for 2014 World Cup is important for the country's appearance, and it needs educated citizens to have a successful future.
