I'm not sure if it's a São Paulo (as in the state, not the city) thing, but I had English classes when I was in public high school ("ensino médio"). They weren't the best English courses out there (i.e. they weren't comparable to Brazilian schools that specialize in English courses such as CCAA, CNA, Fisk and Wizard), but they offered a good start for those who had no prior knowledge of the English language. It's also worth mentioning that people who work in IT have more potential to come into contact with communication in English because a lot of documentation is in English. But I totally agree with you that most of the population does not have quality access to English courses.
