Brazil education market profile

Brazil is the largest economy in Latin America, and is characterised by large agricultural, mining, manufacturing and services sectors.

Brazil has undergone a significant move towards modernisation and a reduced role for the government in the economy.

This change was driven principally by a more liberal trade regime, deregulation and privatisation of state companies.
