Funding policy in education and municipal inequalities in the State of São Paulo: an analysis from the political arenas of Lowi
Main Article Content
Abstract
The systematization of social policies in Brazil is being addressed incrementally in recent decades. The 1988 Constitution is a historic milestone in reaffirming the importance of states and municipalities to offer these policies, especially in education. During the 1990s, however, some difficulties are seen in the relationship of federal entities to conduct educational policies. Then they implemented several changes to the approval of a fund for education, Fundef, which was amended in 2006, with the approval of Fundeb. These changes caused distortions and inequities in the distribution of education resources in the municipalities in the State of São Paulo. This article discusses these distortions from the approval of these two funds, in the light of public policy arenas by Lowi (1966, 1972).
