In its 15 years of existence, the Program has already had outstanding success. More than 300 students have passed the difficult entrance examinations to be admitted to higher education. Forty have already graduated from the university, including three (3) with masters’ degrees, five (5) in master degree programs, three (3) in programs to receive doctor’s degrees, and three (3) specialists.
These results are quite significant when it is considered that all have originated from low-income rural communities in the interior of the state. The most important fact is that these persons (men and women) have learned the lessons of cooperation and solidarity that come from being engaged, voluntarily, in the program.
The program of PRECE established the Cooperative Popular Schools – EPCs, in 10 communities of the municipal districts of the State of Ceará that already have more than 600 students. These EPCs develop plans and activities of education. They produce critical mass to execute the Plan of Support to the Maintainable Local Development in each community.
