Eficiência das escolas da rede pública municipal de Fortaleza-CE

Abstract

The analysis of the educational efficiency of the Brazilian public system is very important, given that even with advances in the 1990s, which can be seen as a starting point for the development of educational policies in Brazil, the country is still among the last placed before the results of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), which establishes a necessary attention to educational quality (OLIVEIRA; MENEZES-FILHO; KOMATSU, 2018; OLIVEIRA; SOUZA; ANNENGUES, 2018). Due to the disparities between brazilian municipalities, which are easily evident from the data made available by the Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP), it is interesting to detail the individual ability of each municipality to allocate its inputs efficiently in order to be able to maximize their results (educational performance). As a result, this paper analyzes schools in the municipal public school in Fortaleza, early and final years of elementary school, estimating the technical efficiency of schools in the municipal school using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method for three models: literacy, 5th grade and 9th grade. In general, it was found that the schools that appeared among the most efficient ones often belonged to districts that had good results in the variables of educational performance, in addition to being possible to observe that for the 9th grade model, these same schools were among the awarded by students at OBMEP. It was also noted that full-time schools had good efficiency rates
