Abstract

This article examines the Programa Dinheiro Direto na Escola (PDDE), created with a view to assisting schools, through financial resources, in a supplementary way. This article aims to broaden the knowledge about the Dinheiro Direto na Escola Program in the city of Taperoá-PB. To this end, the following specific objectives were defined: (a) to examine the resources of the Dinheiro Direto na Escola Program (PDDE); (b) identify the school institutions served by the PDDE; and (c) know the programs served by the PDDE. The study is quantitative in nature and has an exploratory and descriptive purpose. For its development the following techniques were used: bibliographic research and electronic research. In the course of the article, it is possible to follow a brief historical analysis of the Program, from its creation, in 1995, to the present day. Then, a brief report was made about the city of Taperoá, located in the interior of Paraíba, with some explanations about the city's educational system. Data were collected on the resources of the PDDE in the period 2000 to 2020, having as a reference base two reports, namely: Releases General Consultations and the PDDEREX Report of Executing Units Served by the PDDE. The results indicate that, despite the idea of democratic management present in the program, the board of councils has relative autonomy in relation to the PDDE, as it has already defined, in advance, how and with what resources should be spent. They also indicate that there was a progressive adhesion of municipal schools to the program, revealing the issue of democratic school management.
