'''''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. The program is still aired on Futura, TV Cultura, TV Brasil, TV Aparecida, Redevida, and SBT.
The idea of this program was created by journalist Francisco Calazans Fernandes<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.observatoriodaimprensa.com.br/news/view/jornalista_criador_do_telecurso |title=Jornalista, criador do telecurso – | Observatório da Imprensa | |publisher=Observatoriodaimprensa.com.br |date= |accessdate=20 September 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/cotidian/ff2901201020.htm |title=Folha de S.Paulo – Francisco Calazans Fernandes (1929–2010): Jornalista e criador do telecurso na década de 1970 – 29/01/2010 |publisher=.folha.uol.com.br |date=29 January 2010 |accessdate=20 September 2012}}</ref> and it featured several kinds of education classes.<ref name=": G1 - Novo Telecurso terá aulas de filosofia, teatro e sociologia">{{Cite web |title=G1 > Vestibular e Educação - NOTÍCIAS - Novo Telecurso terá aulas de filosofia, teatro e sociologia |url=https://g1.globo.com/Noticias/Vestibular/0,,MUL362075-5604,00-NOVO+TELECURSO+TERA+AULAS+DE+FILOSOFIA+TEATRO+E+SOCIOLOGIA.html |access-date=2023-05-24 |website=g1.globo.com}}</ref>
==Broadcast history== Educational programming began to be broadcast by Rede Globo on 16 January 1978 when the secondary-school oriented ''Telecurso 2<sup>o</sup> Grau'' started broadcasting; it was initially created by Rede Globo in conjunction with the Padre Anchieta Foundation (Fundação Padre Anchieta) and the Roberto Marinho Foundation. Unlike almost all other programs shown by Rede Globo, the program was presented commercial-free for its entire run due to its educational nature, although promos for the network's shows and public service announcements were still shown in between segments of the program. In 1981, ''Telecurso'' was expanded from 15 to 30 minutes with the launch of ''Telecurso 1<sup>o</sup> Grau'', which concentrated on educational lessons for elementary school children.
In 1986, the Roberto Marinho Foundation retitled the original program as ''Novo Telecurso 2<sup>o</sup> 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 geography 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.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://oglobo.globo.com/economia/mat/2010/04/05/telecurso-tem-nova-serie-de-programas-916255883.asp |publisher= O Globo |title= Telecurso has a new series of programs|language=Portuguese|date=5 April 2009|accessdate=30 January 2018}}</ref>
