School Equivalence

The Brazilian Ministry of Education grants equivalence or recognition of qualifications, studies and diplomas of foreign education systems to Brazilian qualifications, studies and diplomas at basic and secondary education level.

For more information on the process, visit the webpage (in Portuguese) of the Ministry of Education.

For the diploma of graduation to be valid it must be revalidated by Brazilian public university that has the same or a similar course, recognized by the government.

NOTE: The Diplomas, the Certificates of equivalences or course conclusion fees have different range prices according to each school or higher institution.
You can check the legislation of the ratification of higher education diplomas at the Ministry of Education portal (in Portuguese).

The Brazilian Educational System is divided into three levels: fundamental, intermediate and higher education, the latter comprising two different levels: undergraduate and graduate. Preschool or infant education is added to this hierarchical structure, for the purpose of providing assistance to children less than 7 years of age.

The regular school year in Brazil, independently of the calendar year, covers a minimum of 180 days of effective work, excluding tests and exams, according to the current Education Law.
