In Adult Literacy, Tocantins leads the ranking with the participation of the municipalities of Novo Acordo (4,97% of students), Lagoa do Tocantins (4,05%) and Santa Tereza do Tocantins (3,35%). In elementary school the national average is 63,45%, while the municipalities are all considered above average. Fact contrary happens in high school, where all municipalities are below the national average of 15,55%. Highlights for Lizarda, Mateiros, Lagoa do Tocantins, Santa Tereza do Tocantins and Rio Sono, all in Tocantins, with almost 90% of students in elementary school.Lizarda particularly poorly in relation to the number of students enrolled in high school, with insignificant 0,2%. Insofar as the series progresses, the data show more timid.

In pre-university course we have only six municipalities with data (Almas, Lizarda, São Félix do Tocantins, in Tocantins, Alto Parnaíba in Maranhão, Corrente and Santa Filomena in Piauí) and all below 1%of the universe of students. Replicating the already noted in regard to high school students graduate in the region are well below the national average (5,36% of students). Some attention may be given to the municipalities of Barreiras, Corrente and Gilbués (PI) with respect to graduate school, but everyone in the order of 2,5%, less than half the national average. Masters and PhD students are lacking in the consolidated data, confirming the inefficiency of the series in advance of the study area.
