Contributions to a Fundeb Balance: redistribution of resources, remuneration expenses and teaching employment
Abstract
This paper investigates effects of the Fund for Maintenance and Development of Basic Education and the Valorization of Education Professionals (Fundeb) on the conditions of the teaching work. For this, the dimensions were analyzed: municipalization of enrollments and fund resources; student / year value and the National Professional Salary Floor (PSPN); use of Fundeb resources to pay education professionals in state networks; types of employment contracts of teachers in state networks. We worked with the educational legislation, budgetary and financial data made available by the Union and by the Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira. It was found that Fundeb, in the analyzed dimensions, promoted substantial changes in the Brazilian educational policy of basic education, with relevant implications for the reproduction of the teaching workforce and their material conditions of existence.
