No 30, Working Papers from Universidade Federal do Paraná, Department of Economics

Abstract: Since 1998, the public investment in the Brazilian fundamental education has been organized by the FUNDEF (Fund for Maintenance and Development of Fundamental Education and Valorization of Teaching). One of the goals of this fund is to assure resources for the public investment in fundamental education, providing its quality, and improving the students’ proficiency. This paper analyzes the effects of the FUNDEF in the students’ performance utilizing public data from the fund and from SAEB (Basic Education Statistics Synopsis). The results suggest that the financial support and the teachers’ qualification are important variables to explain the progress in the public education.
