Sistema Anglo de Ensino is a Brazilian educational system and company comprehending elementary and high schools, cursinhos and a higher education institute, FIPEN (Instituto Paulista de Ensino, translated as São Paulo Teaching Institute). The company uses a lion as its logo, representing strength.
Anglo's cursinhos (Anglo Vestibulares) are perhaps the reason of its popularity and notability. In 2005, 30% of the students who managed to enter in the University of São Paulo (whose vestibular FUVEST is considered one of the most difficult and competitive of Brazil) studied at Anglo, the highest percentage among other cursinhos.
Famous quotes containing the word anglo:
“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
