Aplicação dos recursos públicos no ensino fundamental: um estudo comparativo entre os estados do Amazonas, Ceará e São Paulo

Abstract

The overall intent of this study was to compare public spending with student performance across states. This is a descriptive research, with a predominantly quantitative approach, based on the collection of documentary data. The units of analysis worked were the states of Amazonas, Ceará and São Paulo, within the time frame from 2011 to 2015, after identifying the expenditure per student, this was related to the performance in IDEB. It was noticeable a great disparity in the values of public resources applied in each state, which when compared to the unequal results of performance in IDEB allowed the conclusion that there is no relationship between public expenditure in the public school system and student performance.
