Basic education assessment in Brazil has a consolidated historical pathway, which always pointed out joint efforts with public authorities in the search for quality improvement. This paper aims to highlight national policies for external-assessments, analyzing the ‘Sistema de Avaliação Nacional da Educação Básica – SAEB’ (National Assessment System for Basic Education) and the ‘Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica – IDEB’ (Basic Education Development Index) to link the concept of educational quality underlying these policies and also to bring out the problems on the protection of the rights to quality public education. A qualitative research was conducted, based on document analysis of legal ordinances and technical reports issued by the ‘Ministério da Educação – MEC’ (Ministry of Education) and the ‘Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira – INEP’ (Anísio Teixeira National Institute of Educational Studies and Research), in comparison with a theoretical framework. Based on this analysis we consider that SAEB and IDEB shows limitations in its configuration to assure the protection of the rights to quality public education.
