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 life itself. He only visited the country again in 1979, with the democratic opening. Throughout his history, Paulo Freire received more than one hundred honorary doctorates from several national and foreign universities, in addition to numerous awards, such as Education for Peace, from UNESCO, and the Order of Cultural Merit, from the Brazilian government.
