Abstract

The reforms carried out in Brazil, since the 1990s, guided by the New Public Management (NPM), based on the argument of technical rationality and of giving a greater efficiency to the public sector, introduced management mechanisms and school organization in the educational system which corroborated to the deterioration of work conditions and teachers’ remuneration and career, according to a research which was conducted in different states [Teaching in Basic Education in Brazil Research (Gestrado in Trabalho docente na educação básica no Brasil. FAE/UFMG-SEB/MEC: Belo Horizonte, 2010; Oliveira and Vieira Trabalho na educação básica em Pernambuco. CCS Gráfica e Editora: Camaragibe, 2014)]. Some of these mechanisms were imposed by the flexible measures of the labor legislation, bringing a greater freedom to the temporary contracting of teachers and allowing a greater diversification of wages. However, this process occurred quite differently among Brazilian states and municipalities. While schools began to have a greater autonomy, they also began to live with strategies and tools of control and regulation of school life through an external evaluation seeking a greater efficiency, which could be proven by measurable results.
