This was the result of the pilot project of what would become the National Literacy Program of the government of João Goulart, president who would be deposed in March 1964. In October of that same year, Freire left Brazil to protect his own life, only returning to visit the country in 1979, with the opening of democracy.

I don't believe anything in people who think with the internet. But it nullifies the information problem. And people – teachers, educators – can dedicate themselves to explaining how to look for information, how to 'cut' information, since there is now such diversity, such a dizzying, daily accumulation of information, that it is necessary 'cut them'. If someone tells you 'it's white', maybe it's black, I don't know! It is necessary to seek out the sources, cross-reference the sources, and then, once again, put the critical spirit into practice.” "
