Curitiba to transfer grades 6 to 9 to state schools from 2027

Curitiba’s municipal schools will begin transferring grades 6 to 9 to the state network in 2027.

The change involves the final years of elementary school in the Brazilian city.

The city government confirmed it would end municipal provision of these grades shortly before a meeting with parents, after previously denying the plan.

Families have raised concerns that the change could reduce the number of classes in municipal schools.

The transfer means responsibility for these grades will shift from the city’s school network to the state’s.

The transition is due to begin in 2027.
