According to the 2025 School Census released by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep), the Brazilian state of Acre has the lowest rate of internet access in educational institutions, standing at 52.5%. This figure indicates a slight increase from 48.2% in 2024, but still falls significantly below the 70% threshold deemed necessary for adequate internet coverage in schools by the Ministry of Education. The state ranks lower than other regions, such as Amazonas, Roraima, and Amapá, which have higher access rates.

The data collected focuses on basic education spanning from early childhood through to secondary school. Across the country, there has been a substantial rise in internet access in educational institutions, with the national average jumping from 82.8% in 2021 to 94.5% in 2025. This trend indicates an overarching improvement in connectivity for schools in Brazil, yet this progress is not evenly distributed, notably disadvantaging regions like Acre.

An additional finding from the School Census highlights that internet connection tends to be more available in higher educational stages. This disparity raises concerns regarding equitable access to necessary technological resources for foundational learning in the earlier years. Addressing these gaps is crucial for ensuring that all students in Brazil have equal opportunities to benefit from digital tools and learning resources, which are increasingly essential in modern education.
