INTRODUCTION
Brazil, as well as other countries in South America, or even in Europe, has been reforming its public policies for High School Education (a three-year course for students aged between 15 and 17. High school is required for entry in College).
Since September 2015, when more than 200 countries have agreed on the new Global Sustainable Development Objectives for Agenda 2030, item number 04 states that all the participant countries should pursue the quality in educational for the next 15 years. Such quality would pass through the expansion of Integrated High School to the Professional Technical High School, a necessary condition for industrial economies in order to have skilled workforce.

13,415 will supposedly provide democratic and universal access to young people when choosing about their future before starting high school. At this stage of education (starting at age 15), young people may choose between a more general high school program divided by areas of concentration such as biological, humanities, languages or mathematics) or a technical/professional high school. Thus, the student should have five (5) possibilities of choice (five fields of studies), as the technical/professional branch being the new trend of the new regulation. To date, the integrated high school education to the technical high school, the Federal Institute in Brazil is the one that offers the professional high school through its 644 schools that attend an average of 600 thousand students. Nevertheless these institutions follow their own educational agenda.
There has never been in all Brazilian educational history such a regulation that brute forces all Brazilian provinces and without any further discussion the implementation of a public model of professional high school education, which is public, because it will be offered free of charge to all students who opt in for it, but a mixed of public-private, since the same regulation allows public money to be invested in private companies when the goal is the professionalization of young people.
Between the 9th and 11th centuries, the kingdom of Ghana, established by the Soninke people in the 4th century, prospered in Northwest Africa. The kingdom became very rich because its location was in the middle of the trading routes of northwest Africa and it had many resources. Ghana traded salt for gold with its Northern neighbor. Also Ghana taxed every trader who went through Ghana to fund their army. The kings of Ghana ruled from their capital of Kumbi Saleh. The country had a rich cultural tradition that was reflected in religion. The kingdom of Ghana fell because of droughts, attacks, and lack of gold.

Haiti as a rich history, filled with many peoples’ blood and countless hopes of freedom. With such a rich history, the country has yet to become financially stable because of their past. From the beginning of the French settlement where slaves were brought over from Africa to harvest crops, to the dictatorship of the Duvalier family. Haiti has yet to see a time when they are not in need of help. After the racial caste systems were set in place, many people would not see a truly independent country. When France finally gave independence to Haiti, they did it for a price. After they paid that price, the US occupied them because of their location and many resources. Every year in Haiti’s history as a nation and before has effects on the world today. These effects are not hidden in fine print, but blatantly found within Haiti and those who have been involved with Haiti.

The Dutch originally settled Suriname in 1667, after acquiring it from the British in exchange for what would later become New York City, then known as New Amsterdam. Coffee and sugar plantations were created and worked by slaves that were brought in from Africa, however slavery was abolished in 1863, leading to indentured servants being brought in from China and Java (BBC News 2012). Plantations became less important as labor costs were rising, so rice, bananas and citrus replaced coffee, sugar and cocoa as traditional crop exports.

With a population of 200.4 million, there are close to 65 million people who have not completed primary education [3]. Brazilian children are able to access free education at all three stages (primary, secondary and tertiary) of the education system. However, there are numerous social problems that affect free education in the Brazilian community. Annually, millions of students graduate from secondary schooling without being able to write essays, solve basic mathematics etc. Some schools also involve certain rules and regulations which prevent students from failing which leads to students moving forward without having basic knowledge of the previous year. This leads to lack of general knowledge, English reading and writing skills, arithmetic skills etc. contributing to the illiterate population. Other problems in Brazil include lack of teachers, increased crime rates, school abandonment, lack of proper infrastructure (science labs) and teenage pregnancies which have affected the literacy rates of Brazil [5]. Brazil’s expenditure on education has increased over the years, (refer to Appendix 1) however the chief problem lies in the large Brazilian population. Despite its large population, basic education requirements are lacking in Brazilian students. Even after large education investments, the distribution of education wealth remains unequal. In Sao Paulo, one of the wealthiest states with a large population, the
