This paper presents some results of two researches on literacy and schooling, in Brazil and the State of Rio Grande do Sul, conducted in the last years with the support of CNPq. Comparative analysis have been developed, on the basis of two different criteria constructed with demographic census data. Theses analysis demonstrated very great inequalities in the literacy rates between states and municipalities, what becomes evident soon in the beginning of the schooling process. Usually, we apply illiteracy in relation to people of 15 or moreyears of age (UNESCO), or of 10 or more years of age. Having that in some municipalities the aim of 100% of literacy is already attained in the 8-years-age group, the research concludes that illiteracy should be taken into account much sooner - surely frorn the age of eightyears. That means that educational policies must consider thisfact. It is also proposed a modelfor the diagnosis of schooling, whose application needs a different form of presentation of the census data on the number ofyears of schooling of the population.
