Eficácia e equidade nas políticas públicas de educação: estudo de caso de escolas do Alto Jequitinhonha

Abstract

This case study was developed from an approach to the problem of unequal educational opportunities which affects a large part of humanity and represents a challenge to be faced by public policies. The impressive results of some schools in the High Jequitinhonha, stigmatized by inequality in assessments PROALFA stimulated the search for answers about the features present in those schools that have limited differentiation of their performance. The empirical analysis of the interaction of external and internal environment of these schools enabled us to identify what really matters to explain why one school is more effective than another in producing results, even if subjected to similar structural and institutional conditionalities.
