The main argument indicates that the decline is related not only to the technical difficulties regarding the stimulation of interdisciplinarity and transversality of the acquired knowledge, the connection between artistic and critical abilities and the incorporation of contents linked to creative competencies into its current educational programs. The city also suffers from the reduction of government and private investment in innovation, as well as the negative impacts of economic crises and political problems, especially corruption and the discontinuity of public policies. %K Creative Education %K Rio de Janeiro %K Economic Crisis %K Technical Difficulties %K Corruption %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=93957
