BARROS, Ricardo; CARVALHO, Mirela de; FRANCO, Samuel  and  ROSALEM, Andrezza. Impacto do Projeto Jovem de Futuro. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2012, vol.23, n.51, pp.214-226. ISSN 0103-6831.

In the last decade significant progress has been made on all educational levels, and of particular relevance are those concerning high school. The Future Youth Project proposes to innovate in the way services are being offered so that today’s youth can benefit from the highest quality education possible. The project provides resources to those schools addressed, which exercise their discretionary power to overcome their most pressing limitations, and also provides access to useful technologies/methodologies to promote and encourage learning. By creating a comprehensive evaluation system of the project’s impact on student learning, it was possible to obtain several important results, such as: i) at the schools addressed students learned almost 60% more than the corresponding students in control schools; ii) the results revealed an extremely favorable cost-benefit ratio; and iii) there seems to be a positive relation between student performance and investment in increasing the attendance rate of teachers.

Keywords : High School; Learning Achievement; Educational Assessment; Future Youth Project.
