PROJECT

The Pre-Vestibular Course (CPV) is one of the first major milestones of Redes da Maré in the struggle for the rights of residents, as it understands that admission to universities opens up many possibilities and transforms realities.

 

 

PRE-COLLEGE COURSE REDES DE SABERES

 

Since 1998, the project has made it possible to expand the field of educational and cultural possibilities for residents of the 16 communities in Maré, promoting the insertion of students from the territory in universities.

The training provides the development of critical reflection on different societies, emphasizing the defense and guarantee of Human Rights and respect for diversity.

Thus, the course offers regular classes of 12 subjects that take place Monday to Friday, at Nova Holanda, Vila dos Pinheiros and Vila do João, totaling 20 hours per week.

PRE-COLLEGE COURSE WOMEN

 

To contribute to the insertion of women graduated in public schools in universities, in 2021, the first class of CPV Women is born, in partnership with L’Oréal.

The training also brings a reflection on the intersectionality of gender, race and class, contributing to the protagonism of women in the region and improvement of living conditions.

To this end, it offers regular classes that take place from Monday to Friday, from 6:30 pm to 10:45 pm, totaling 20 hours per week and fulfilling the program required for entrance exams from public universities.

 

 

Because of the pandemic, classes at CPV Redes de Saberes and CPV Women were happening together online, with synchronous and asynchronous activities. From 2022, classes returned to the face-to-face model.

The Pre-college course Rede de Saberes and the
CPV Women develop four fronts of action:

 

 

 

Regular classes - Five times a week, with four classes a day with the following subjects: Portuguese, Literature, Writing/Text Production, Spanish, Mathematics I, II and III, Physics I and II, Chemistry I and II, Biology I and II, General History, History of Brazil, Geography I and II, Philosophy and Social Movements/Current Events. The course covers all the program required in the National High School Exam (ENEM) and other entrance exams, enabling admission to public and private universities.

 

 

 

Extra classes - Take place on Saturdays and/or Sundays to review and solve previous entrance exams (ENEM/UERJ) and simulated university entrance exams.

 

 

 

 

 

Field classes - They take place in Maré, in the historic center of Rio de Janeiro and in Petrópolis (Imperial City), including visits to museums, theaters and other cultural spaces, with the aim of expanding cultural capital and developing critical reflection, through extra activities that contribute to the unfolding of regular classes and enable the appropriation of cultural spaces of Maré and the city. In addition to interdisciplinary classes on social, political and economic issues that, in addition to enabling the articulation with the content of the entrance exams, collaborate for the development of a broader repertoire and the students' critical and argumentative thinking.

 

 

 

Support and guidance for students - Based on the development of work attentive to their needs, including social issues, with psychosocial assistance. They also receive guidance on all stages of the selection process in the entrance exams, including deadlines, lists of documents for exemption from fees and places for candidates to register.

 

 

 

Data: In the period from 1999 to 2021 there were 1.126 approvals. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the approval ranking of public universities - UERJ, UFRJ and UFF

 

CPV IN THE PANDEMIC

 

 

For the CPV team, adopting remote teaching as a possibility in the pandemic has been a harm reduction technique, a strategy to keep students motivated with the process of preparing for the entrance exams.

On the other hand, the biggest challenge for students has been the lack of access to the internet and equipment such as computers and notebooks. Educators identified that about 37.5% of students had problems accessing the internet and, consequently, were unable to follow the online activities.

 

Training on citizenship and gender: project “Girls in Chemistry” (UFRJ), in 2021.

During that year, approximately 170 women passed through CPV Women and, with the dropouts, the team called the students who were on the waiting list. As for the CPV Redes de Saberes, there were 150 students.

In addition to these factors, students faced other dilemmas, such as reconciling remote study and child care, the absence of an adequate and quiet space for the study and lack of direct interaction with other students.

STUDENTS CPV WOMEN:

 

"When I started to participate in the project, my intention was to prepare myself well for ENEM and other entrance exams, and also to fill some deficits that I had during high school, but throughout the project, I realized that it goes much further than that. During this process, I am constantly being inspired and motivated by both teachers and coordinators and collaborators. What I learned a lot from the project and about myself during this process is that I want to do something that inspires people and that can help my community."

Josiely Costa, 17, class of 2021

 

"I have lived at Maré for 26 years, and my expectation when entering the course was precisely to gain more knowledge and experience in the ENEM exams, so that I could take an exam with excellence and be able to enter the university. The course also helps in our daily lives, because from the moment you can acquire more knowledge, you can also pass this knowledge on to those around you."

Vânia Silva, 47, class of 2021

 

"My expectation when entering the project was to be able to have a better preparation for the entrance exam. Both Redes and L'Oréal helped me to have this preparation, because a pre-college course is expensive and, if it weren't for that, I couldn't have prepared myself in the best way. They helped me a lot with this! My expectation for the future is to get into the college I want and to be able to graduate. Thank you for your help and encouragement!"

Vitória Ferreira, 18, class of 2021

 

FORMER CPV STUDENTS:

 

"I've been a resident of Nova Holanda since I was born and I had friends and family who took the CPV. That's why, in 2017, I chose to register and apply for the pre-university entrance exam, because I knew it would help me. The CPV was the same year that I was in the 3rd year of high school. It was very busy, as I only had the afternoon to study, both for the entrance exam and for school, but the CPV helped me not only in the college entrance exams. Many of the school´s subjects became easier because of the CPV and that way I managed to lighten the burden of school. I took the ENEM and the UERJ exam and went on to Electrical Engineering at UERJ, Electrical Engineering at UFRJ (where I am now) and Mathematics at UFRRJ."

Pedro Henrique, 22, class of 2017

 

"CPV, like Redes, had a fundamental impact on my life. Through Redes, I managed to go to a technical school in high school that gave me a qualified education, despite the distance and fatigue. Then, CPV helped me even more to prepare and know what to do at ENEM and UERJ. The classes for the specific ones at UERJ helped me a lot to achieve my goal. Since I was little, Redes helps me to achieve my goals. I am very grateful for what they did and still do for me."

Jonatas Magno, 21, class of 2017 and 2018

 

CPV TEAM:

 

"Talking about a project that involves women and education is very gratifying for me, because it is also talking about an opportunity for transformation and to believe in a fairer Brazil. My expectation is that more and more women from Maré can join universities, and that this becomes increasingly possible in their reality. Even with the great dedication of these women, some of them work double or even triple shifts, when they have children, work outside the home and still need time for studies. I see a lot of strength and that inspires me to keep teaching strong women like them."

Érika Batista, 29, Chemistry teacher

 

"I attended the CPV in 2011 and moved to Social Work at UERJ in 2012. Being part of this pre-college entrance exam team is very gratifying, because it was in this project that I started my academic and professional life."

Luana Silveira, 30, coordinator of the CPV

 

"There is no greater joy than having the opportunity to work in a team where half of them were my students. The work is very humanized and has transformed me. 6 years ago, I had an accident, I broke my knee and had no hope of walking. Visiting a 70-year-old lady, Dona Maria de Lourdes, she said she was going to wait for me: 'You'll come back to teach and I'll pass the entrance exam, but I need you!' It took 4 months to walk again, but I made sure to return to Redes, on a crutch, to teach her. Today, this lady is studying Philosophy at UFRJ!"

Bruno Barros, 44, Math teacher since 1998
