摘要

2003年美國高盛投顧公司將巴西列為金磚四國(BRICs)中。巴西雖擁有極佳的天然資源以及眾多的人口，但在知識經濟的時代中，其教育出來的人力資源是否具備擁有、產出、散佈及使用知識的關鍵能力，此為本研究欲探討之主要方向。
本文首先探討教育在知識經濟中之功能，其次了解巴西教育的發展脈絡，接著就目前教育質量以及教育內涵兩部分，了解其教育在知識經濟社會中扮演的角色。研究發現有二：首先，巴西近年教育之質量有顯著提升，但同時也造成了嚴重不均的問題。其次，由於巴西政府近年投注大量資源於師資培育及各教育階段中，並重視資訊科技在教育中的運用。其教育內涵足以培養出具有一定水準的人力素質，但同時呈現不均的情形。故巴西若能改善其教育均等之問題，全面提升整體人口素質，將能在掌握豐富天然及人力資源的情形之下，實現金磚四國的美夢。
