O sistema de vouchers como política para o aprimoramento do sistema educacional básico e promoção do princípio da eficiência no cenário brasileiro

Abstract

It seeks to analyze the administrative, economic and structural context of the current Brazilian public education system in order to detail aspects that undermine the State's duty to guarantee free and quality education to all. When using economic studies as a foundation, points are highlighted that are determinant for the lack of technological, methodological and pedagogical development in the country's public schools and, consequently, for the increase of critical Brazilian social inequality. After analysis, the Voucher System, idealized by economist, statistician and American writer Milton Friedman, is presented as a possible solution, which seeks greater efficiency in the educational system and a guarantee of greater freedom of choice to the less favored families - those that do not have alternative other than enrolling children in public institutions. Finally, we analyze the compatibility of the system with the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the contemporary Brazilian scenario.
