Telecurso is a television program of distance education in Brazil, made by an agreement of Padre Anchieta Foundation, Fundação Roberto Marinho and FIESP. It debuted in 1978, and was exhibited by Rede Globo until 2014, it's still aired on Futura, TV Cultura, TV Brasil, TV Aparecida and Rede Vida

The idea of this program was created by journalist Francisco Calazans Fernandes[1][2] and it featured several kinds of education classes.[3]

Broadcast history

Educational programming began to be broadcast by Rede Globo on 16 January 1978 when the secondary-school oriented Telecurso 2o Grau started broadcasting; it was initially created by Rede Globo in conjunction with the Fundação Padre Anchieta and the Roberto Marinho Foundation. Unlike almost all other programs shown by Rede Globo, the program was presented without commercials for its entire run (this is because the Fundação Padre Anchieta owns TV Cultura, which is not a commercial network). In 1981, Telecurso was expanded from 15 to 30 minutes with the launch of Telecurso 1o Grau, which concentrated on educational lessons for elementary school children.

In 1986, the Roberto Marinho Foundation retitled the original program as Novo Telecurso 2o Grau and a new partnership was obtained with Bradesco; the courses featured were authorized to become a valid form of educative material in schools around Brazil, as well as in certain companies. On 2 January 1995, the entire educational programming block was rebranded as Telecurso 2000 and expanded to 45 minutes with the launch of Telecurso 2000 Profissionalizante (which focused on vocational subjects).

On 31 March 2008, the program was reformatted as Novo Telecurso, which removed outdated segments of geograph and history that were no longer being used and replaced them with philosophy, visual arts, music, theatre, sociology, and Spanish language topics that were aimed at secondary students who have not completed their education. In 2009, a new partnership was attained with SENAI-SP for the vocational segments of the program.[4]

On 28 November 2014, Telecurso aired for the last time on Rede Globo; all of the program's segments were later moved to the Internet.[5] It was replaced by Hora Um da Notícia, an early-morning news program that premiered on 1 December 2014. The daily edition of Globo Rural aired the last time on the same day and it was kept the weekly edition aired on Sundays at 8am.
