Abstract
This paper analyzes supplemental education in Brazil, taking into account two basic aspects: level of coverage and personal economic results. The program has a low degree of coverage, even among those who could benefit from the program. The estimates of economic results have shown that 2nd level supplemental program produced lower gains than the regular program, but the 1st level supplemental program, when compared to the 1st level regular system, demonstrated the same absolute gains and an income growth rate twice higher for each additional year of study. This paper highlights the need for better understanding of why the 1st level supplemental education program has a low degree of coverage in the presence of such a high economic return.
