Highlights

Key milestones: ● 2022 – appointment of the national project manager. ● 2023 – translation and adaptation of instruments to the Brazilian context, along with training of the management team. ● 2024 – field testing of instruments in the states of São Paulo, Ceará, and Pará. ● 2025 – main data collection, with an estimated sample of 3,000 children. ● 2026 – release of national results and final report. The study values children’s voices, taking into account their interests, aspirations, and school experiences.
