Resultados de escolas públicas militares e não-militares de Fortaleza durante o ensino básico: uma análise descritiva

Abstract

In the last decades the monitoring of public policies aimed at the improvement of education in the country has intensified. Among the most recent policies adopted to monitor the evolution / involution of education has been the practice of measuring the quality of education through indicators. At the national level this practice is configured through the Basic Education Index (Ideb) that measures the quality of education in basic education. In parallel with this indicator and also with a view to monitoring the internal reality of federated entities, these have developed systems of diagnostic assessments with the aim of, among others, monitoring the level of knowledge of the students through the results they achieve in these assessments as well contriubuir in the design of public policies that aim at the achievement of the goals related to the mentioned federal government indicator. Based on this, the present work aims to discuss the income in the diagnostic evaluations and Ideb of 51 state public schools of Ceará during the period from 2007 to 2015, however due to the availability of data, these data were treated biannually. From the results of the schools, a parallel was also drawn between the results achieved by the military schools in comparison to the results of the non-military schools, in order to understand if there is any disparity between the quality of the schools and therefore to recognize the quantification of this disparity, if any. For this, a descriptive evaluation of the variables considered was developed. With this, the results point to considerable disparities between the results of military and non-military schools, with those performing far above these. It is also worth mentioning that the disparities are present throughout the school year, from the first diagnostic evaluation applied by the federal government, through Saeb, in the fifth year; until the evaluation that the today measures the performance of the student at the end of elementary school, the Enem. This examination serves as a reference for the access of students to the higher education level, either in public universities, through Sisu, or for admission to private university centers, through student financing programs such as FIES and PROUNI.
