The first two years of the pandemic required new investments and the rescue of old commitments in the field of education. However, this was not a reality in Maré and other peripheral territories. Based on the experiences of the campaign Maré says NO to coronavirus and the research Educations of Girls and COVID-19 in Maré, carried out by Redes da Maré in partnership with the Malala Fund in 2020, it has become a necessity to identify the impacts of the pandemic in the education of students from the 6th to the 9th year of Elementary School, and from the 1st to 3rd year of High School, in their families and teachers.
The research, in partnership with Instituto Unibanco, gathered 18 public schools from the 16 Favelas of Maré - state and municipal -, including establishments for Youth and Adult Education (EJA) and one for Technical Education.
The Redes da Maré team went out to understand what were, in fact, the challenges of the school community - in the 20 months of 2020 and 2021 - in which pedagogical activities suffered so many upheavals: suspension of face-to-face classes, remote education, hybrid system and reopening of schools.

According to project data, from March 2021 until the end of this research, the active search service had already identified 983 adolescents and children who had dropped out of school. The numbers come from lists provided by public schools in Maré, but it is important to remember that with the team in the field, more students were found far from these school databases.
The most common reasons for non-adherence to the remote activities offered were: lack or difficulty in accessing the internet, lack of a mobile device, difficulty in accessing or carrying out activities, family in poverty, lack of interest in studies and lack of vacancy at a school close to the residence.
It was also reported by education professionals that, through the families' search for food baskets, education professionals were able to locate students at risk of dropping out, update records, make an active search and increase the level of engagement, that is, the ties between responsible, school and students.
