Financiamento da educação profissional e tecnológica: Programa Brasil Profissionalizado

Abstract

In the formulation, management and implementation of policies and educational programs, the systematization of resources is an indispensable condition. In this article, the funding of vocational education is discussed with emphasis on the Professionalized Brazil Program as public policy of vocational education. The following questions guide the discussion: How does the financing of Vocational Education in Brazil occur? What educational policies fall into this category? Once the Professionalized Brazil Program is a Vocational Education funding policy, how has it being implemented in the country? What are the similarities and differences between this public policy and the others focusing on professional education, implemented in Brazil in the XXI century? The theme is grounded in Oliveira (2012), Ramos (2012), Grabowski; Ribeiro (2010), Kuenzer; Grabowski (2006), Grabowski (2010) and Nascimento (2012). In addition to the literature review, a research was conducted at the Indicators Management Platform (PGI) of Brazil, which presents the historical series provided by sectoral bodies. Indicators of the publication of Government Budget from 2003 to 2010 were found in the research as to the financing of Vocational Education. After the analysis, the results indicate that the distribution of the Vocational Education fundings occurs mainly through policies and government programs. Moreover, it was found that there is not a percentage of resources and perennial sources to be invested in the implementation of policies and programs of this type.
