Piauí has achieved the prestigious Gold Seal from the National Commitment to Literacy (CNCA) for the second consecutive year, a distinction awarded by Brazil's Ministry of Education (MEC). This award recognizes the state's consistent achievements in implementing public policies aimed at ensuring that children can read and write by the appropriate age. The initiative promotes various actions, programs, and management practices that uphold the right to literacy, aligning with the national goal of having all students literate by the end of their second year in elementary school.

The accomplishment reflects Piauí's strong performance across over 60 criteria evaluated by the National Seal for Literacy-Focused Children. With this recognition, Piauí maintains its high status in the MEC's evaluation system and joins an elite group of 11 Brazilian states that have reached Gold status. Another implication of this success is the potential for increased funding and support for educational programs, enhancing the state's capacity to further improve its literacy rates.

This achievement is significant not only for Piauí but also serves as an example for other states in Brazil striving to enhance their educational systems. The ongoing commitment to literacy is essential for the development of human capital and the overall educational outcomes in the country, demonstrating the importance of consistent policy implementation and evaluation within the educational sector.
