YOUTH AND ADULT EDUCATION (YAE) FUNDING IN FUNDEB: THE POLICY THAT REAFFIRMED THE DENIAL OF RIGHTS. Educ. rev. [online]. 2023, vol.39, e32398.  Epub June 10, 2023.

The study aims to analyze the funding of YAE (Youth and Adult Education), problematizing the limits of Fundeb funding matrix. It sought to answer the following question: why is the Fundeb value per YAE student lower than the minimum established nationwide in a state receiving Federal bonus funds? We conducted a quanti-qualitative documental research, based on studies about education funding and YAE public policies. The research revealed that values lower than the nationally-defined minimum occurred only in the state of Piauí, Brazil, due to the rule that defines that YAE cannot use more than 15% of the total fund. The problem occurred in the last years of Fundeb, from 2017 to 2020, hindering education systems that significantly invested in the increase of YAE enrollments, disregarding local realities, and denying the constitutional principles that guarantee the human right to education.

Keywords : educational policy; education funding; Fundeb; Youth and Adult Education; YAE.
