Brazilian government has also been investing in education, a well-known country's difficulty. REUNI is an investment plan that is aimed at increasing the Federal Universities capacity. The expectation is that this plan will raise the capacity by 30% until 2012. Other educational program, called PROUNI, subsidies educatinal fees in private universities, for students whose families have low income. Giving/Due to this investments the forecast is good for the country's educational progress, but it's not yet clear if the impact will be as positive as expected.

Could you correct this little piece of text please and maybe give me some advice to make my writting clearer?
Thank you.

Say:
The Brazilian government has also been investing in education.(SInce I don't know what came before it, I am not sure about the "also" in that sentence.)
I am not sure what "a well-known country's difficulty" means, but I suppose Brazil is indeed a well-known country.

Another educational program, called PROUNI, subsidizes tuitions for private universities, for students whose families have low income.

Ok. I listed some other investiments before, that's why I used 'also".
I didn't mean brazil is well-known, I mean that brazil has educational problems and it's well known at least by its inhabitants. I should elaborate it in a better way.
I should've said:
Brazilian government has also been investing in education, an issue that was neglected by the politicians for years. (I hope it works)
Thank you so much RonBee.
That is better, but you can improve on it. For one thing, you need the definite article ("the"). Perhaps:
The Brazilian government has recently been investing a great deal in education, an area that was neglected by the politicians for years.What do you think?
You're quite welcome.
