Política de valorização dos profissionais da educação: dimensões do financiamento da educação básica no município de Céu Azul no Paraná (2009 -2016)

Abstract

The present research relates education financial policy with the education professional valorization policy. Brazilian education, around 1990, had to suit to changes from the state reform. At that context, teacher becomes the leading figure and, questions as formation, career and work conditions are exalted and then, considered pillars of teacher appreciation. Therefore, when valorization policies are established, it`s expected that teachers respond with education quality. Education financing, represented by fund policy, FUNDEF (1996-2006) and FUNDEB (2007-2020), is also a reform`s product. On this paper, we analyse the valorization policy of education professionals from the city of Céu Azul – PR, from 2009 to 2016. The main goal of the research was to analyze if the base education financing, by FUNDEB, is destined, with the application of transfered resources, to education professionals valorization policy execution. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. First, a bibliographic survey of the education financing history in Brazil until the actual time was done, FUNDEF and FUNDEB, as well as the analysis of teacher valorization categories, like work, value and valorization process. Later, information were taken from documents, minutes and reports from the municipe under study. Then, a data analysis was done, pursuing to relate it with the bibliographic study. It was possible to see that there`s a contradiction in the speech of teacher valorization, because the present financing does not contemplate the education quality at all. So on, we identify that the financing correspond to the state reform`s requirements in the sense of a rationalization of public spending and social policy focusing.
