Union Assistance Policy Settings for K-12 Education Offering Following the 2016 Coup

Abstract

The paper analyzes the Union’s technical and financial assistance policy to sub-national governments, after the coup d’etat of 2016, based on quantitative data of transfer of resources from FNDE to state, district and municipal governments. The data indicate that the new direction of the federal government has adversely affected the Union's assistance actions, reducing the amount of resources, prioritizing high school reform and political-partisan bargaining between legislative and executive.
