O Plano Nacional de Educação Brasileira e a polêmica sobre o financiamento

Abstract

Discuss the controversial Brazilian education financing on the National Educational Plan (PNE), which was active from January 2001 to January 2011, and the law project n° 8,035/2010, which already waited two years at the National Congress, for the creation of the PNE, referring to the period of ten years. NEP is a plan of goals and announces the costs and resources available for education. The plan from 2001 to 2011, according to the education ministry (MEC), only achieved 33% of its goals. One of the biggest problems pointed by the researchers was the amount of financial resources applied in education, which never went beyond 5% of the gross national product. The National Conference of Education (CONAE) proposed to raise the new PNE, suggested that the investments from the Gross National Product were raised annually, arriving in 2014 to 10%. The new proposal of PNE requests the application of only 7%, starting at 2020. Consequently, the proposal of 7% will be insufficient to implement the group of goals that is announced for an education of good quality to everyone. The application of 10% of the National Gross Product requires elevated resources, in other words, US$ 228 billion in the first active year. The proposal is possible, but will require that the education in the country is defined as a priority as a strict politic from the Union, States, Federal District and the County, redefining the existing contributions to the education.
