Políticas de financiamento da educação municipal em São João do Rio do Peixe/PB de 2021-2024.

Abstract

This research discusses municipal education financing policies in São João do Rio do Peixe, Paraíba, from 2021 to 2024. Brazilian education is characterized by continuous changes that affect the daily reality of all stakeholders: administrators, teachers, students, and education professionals in general, given the policy of funds that subsidize education as the primary tool of federal action. Therefore, we ask: How were FUNDEB resources used in the municipality of São João do Rio do Peixe from 2021 to 2024? We used a case study methodology to conduct this research, using annual records from the SAGRES platform and analyzing education financing policies in the municipality of São João do Rio do Peixe, Paraíba, with an emphasis on the use of FUNDEB resources. We also analyzed the perceptions of education professionals regarding these investments. To this end, we established the following objectives: to analyze the implementation of education financing policies in the municipality of São João do Rio do Peixe and how they affect the performance of the municipality's public schools; to understand the mechanisms for transferring FUNDEB funds in the municipality of São João do Rio do Peixe, Paraíba; to analyze the ProEducaSJRP continuing education project; and to verify the adequacy of municipal school meals through the National Food Program (PNAE), as required by law and continuing education for teachers. As a result, we understand that the investments outlined above are having an impact on municipal education in São João do Rio do Peixe, Paraíba, given the municipality's achievements with the UNICEF Seal and the Gold Medal for Literacy. However, we argue that much remains to be invested and expanded to consolidate an increasingly effective education system.
