Social
We offer broad geographical coverage and affordable prices with a view to enabling access to higher education for a growing number of Brazilians. Our operation in distance learning hubs enables us to reach small municipalities (light distance teaching hubs), enabling young people and adults who would otherwise not be able to look for opportunities in larger cities to take a higher education course.
In 2022, the higher education institutions in our portfolio reached over 2,000 municipalities, covering all the states in Brazil, counting the campi and the distance learning hubs.
Additionally:
- Our ecosystem includes Stoodi, a start-up that offers preparatory courses for Brazil’s Enem national secondary education examination (Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio) and other university entry exams.
- In 2022, we started to offer EJA digital, a 100% online program for students who have not concluded basic schooling in the regular time frame, with vacancies for the final years of primary and secondary education.

Ongoing Training For Educators
We offer quality teaching and educational solutions that transform the realities of schools and students. For us, it is fundamental to pay special attention to those who play the most important role in the students’ learning: the teachers. This is why we have virtual environments oriented to the continuous training of teachers:
- Our corporate university, UNICO, offers more than 560 courses that may be accessed by the teachers at our higher education institutions.
- Teacher Training Program (PROFS), aimed at K-9 teachers working in the schools in which we offer our educational solutions.
- Training for public school educators through the Saber business unit. We develop initiatives to prepare education agents in the production of training contents and provide support in the execution of action plans. In 2022, we organized two editions of the Public School Network Educational Journey, an online event involving the participation of key professionals.
