FURTADO, Clayton Sirilo do Valle e SOARES, Tufi Machado. Impact of educational bonus in Pernambuco. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.70, pp.48-76. ISSN 1984-932X. https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v0ix.3940.
The present article seeks to assess the impact of the Educational Performance Bonus, an incentive paid to employees of the state school network in Pernambuco, when they accomplish pre-established educational goals. The main objective of this paper is to verify whether this bonus policy led to better performance in Portuguese and Mathematics between 2008 and 2012. The methodology used to address this issue uses propensity scores to produce pairings, in which each school in the state network (participating in the bonus policy) is compared to a similar municipal school (which does not have such a policy). The main result shows that state schools have obtained, in the ninth grade, a gain of five points compared to those schools in the municipal network.
