Financiamento da educação na região metropolitana de João Pessoa: o Fundeb nos anos de 2020 e 2023

Abstract

This study analyze per-student spending in the municipalities of the RMJP between 2020 and 2023, considering the New Fundeb as a potential reducer of economic and educational inequalities. The research adopts a quantitative approach with qualitative and descriptive analysis, using as main sources of the data from the System of Budget Execution Summary Reports (Siope), the Scholar Census (INEP), and socioeconomic indicators from IBGE. The methodology involved data analysis and comparison among three different per-student spending indicators: with Fundeb, without Fundeb, and without federal complements (VAAF, VAAT and VAAR). The results show that the New Fundeb, with its new redistributive rules and greater federal participation, had a significant impact on increasing per-student spending, especially in municipalities with lower revenue-generating capacity, such as Pedras de Fogo, Pitimbu, Caaporã, and Cruz do Espírito Santo.
