In this study we sought to identify Brazil's problems in selecting and hiring good teachers. There are few financial incentives for the best high school students to become teachers. In addition, Brazil's teacher training courses attract individuals with a low academic performance and lower socioeconomic status. An empirical study attempted to examine the quality of training provided to these future teachers using data from Enade. It revealed that Pedagogy courses in public institutions are, on average, better than those at private institutions, even when taking into account the socioeconomic background of students in these courses. However, this advantage disappears when one considers previous teaching experience. Among Pedagogy graduates who have taught classes or are already teachers - two thirds of the students - no significant differences were observed in the Enade results between students from public and private institutions.
