At the start of August 2023, SEDUC-SP initially opted against using the scholar books supplied by the Ministry of Education (MEC) for the upcoming 2024 school year.

From the start of the school closures in March 2020 to August 2020, it is estimated that about 38 million students in basic education were left with no educational instruction or activity. Additionally, many rural and indigenous regions have particularly low access to technology and reliable internet, making virtual learning widely inaccessible to students from those areas. Additionally, racial inequalities in education are prevalent in Brazil, both in terms dropout rates and quality of education. School materials, such as textbooks often lack
