Questão [online]. 2023, vol.61, n.69, e-33155.  Epub Dec 19, 2023. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.21680/1981-1802.2023v61n69id33155.

The supervision of public resources has become one of the axes of Brazilian educational policy. This understanding has been guiding the actions of the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU, in Portuguese abbreviation) regarding the monitoring of the National Education Plan (2014-2024) [PNE, in Portuguese abbreviation]. This article aims to address this issue and is structured in three sections: the first discusses the role of the TCU as an external control body in monitoring the PNE; the second highlights the methodology used to monitor the PNE; the third presents the results of the 4th PNE Monitoring Report, produced within the TCU. The research procedure used was document analysis and consultation to the database on the TCU’s website. The conclusion brings to light the importance of monitoring and evaluation of the PNE by external control bodies to public policy makers as the TCU, in view of the need for civil society to monitor the actions taken and the results achieved by the mentioned plan.

Keywords : Federal Court of Accounts; National Education Plan; Monitoring; Evaluation.
