An ex ante evaluation by Insper's Center for Evidence in Integral Education, released this week, estimates that the federal Pé-de-Meia program could reduce high school dropout rates but cannot address educational challenges for vulnerable youth on its own. The study, based on 2019 data, recommends adjustments to state programs to complement the scholarship, such as individualized support. The book detailing the results is available for free on Insper's website.
