MACHADO, Melissa Riani Costa; VASCONCELOS, Ana Maria Nogales  and  OLIVEIRA, Adolfo Samuel de. NON-REPETITION POLICIES ON STATE EDUCATION SYSTEMS IN BRAZIL. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2020, vol.50, n.178, pp.1097-1121.  Epub Nov 23, 2020. ISSN 1980-5314.  https://doi.org/10.1590/198053147263.

This paper aims to identify the state education systems whose regulation establishes non-repetition as a rule and emphasizes educational cycles (units longer than a grade) as the main subdivisions of basic education. It also investigates the extent to which those regulations have been implemented. To that end, we analyzed Brazilian states’ legislation on education and data from the School Census. We found that repetition and an emphasis on grades over cycles are characteristics of state education systems in most Brazilian states. However, non-repetition policies were found to be adopted to a greater extent in the states of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Mato Grosso.1

Keywords : EDUCATION SYSTEM; GRADE REPETITION; SOCIAL PROMOTION; CYCLES.
