    Well, I think it is hard because most education systems are non-profit. Perhaps you can invest in a bank that gives student loans.

    Or you could start your own small institution that teaches something. You could even perhaps work out with a deal with a private education facility. There's probably various private schools that might be interested. They might require some funding and you could lend some money to them with some interest or something like that. But consult a lawyer before doing so, so you do it correctly and to avoid getting ripped off.

    There are a lot o social issues regarding education in Brazil.
    I would far prefer to work and study in Spain than in Brazil.

    Funding/Financing the expensive MBA programs/courses for students in Brazil!

    These courses are very expensive for almost all of Brazilian students.

    The candidates to those courses usually are well employed and I think you won´t have problemas of default.

    You may want to look into
    The Lifeplan Education Investment Fund. This is a specially designed savings and investment product to help clients fund the education expenses of their children or grandchildren. The Fund can be used for a lifetime of education - primary (including pre-school), secondary and a wide range of tertiary (including TAFE) and special needs education.

    If you look back to the 70s and 80s, many people were able to get by without even having a high school diploma. You could get a labor job and make $20 an hour without much effort. These days, these jobs are much harder to acquire. Not getting some sort of post high school education these days is the equivalent of dropping out of high school 20 years ago.
