As políticas de avaliação e responsabilização no Brasil: uma análise da Educação Básica nos estados da região Nordeste

Abstract

This article analyzes the educational policies of the nine states in the Northeast region of Brazil. Based on documentary studies, we sought to establish, through the comparative method, some similarities and differences between the programs and policies aimed at the teaching and functional staff, school management and evaluation. The documentary studies were carried out as part of a research in development that seeks to understand the extent to which the New Public Management has consolidated a transnational model of privatization of public services, especially education. The analysis points to a strong presence of evaluation policies as a common feature among states as a strategy for improving education, but the way to conduct them varies considerably. States were classified into three different groups according to the ways in which these policies are conducted, based on the accountability systems they develop.
