Persistência das desigualdades educacionais em escolas públicas de Barbacena-MG: uma avaliação dos efeitos da política de responsabilização sobre as desigualdades educacionais

Abstract

The present work was based on a quantitative research on the influence of public evaluation of the Mineiro System of Education Evaluation (Simave) on the performance and educational inequalities in public schools of the Municipal Network and State Network of the Municipality of Barbacena-MG. The microdata on performance in Mathematics and Portuguese Language of all public schools in the city from 2011 to 2014 were the basis of the analyzes presented. The research used the performance data in the 5, 9 and 12 series. The use of the results by the State Network as part of its Accountability Policy produces better educational performance than those presented by the Municipal Network, which does not use these data to draw up its guidelines. Although it has improved its performance, it has not reduced performance inequalities within its network, which is still vulnerable to the influences of social origins and the advantages and disadvantages produced by it in school systems.
