BAUTHENEY, Katia Cristina Silva Forli. Incongruências no discurso sobre qualidade da educação brasileira. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2014, vol.25, n.57, pp.138-162. ISSN 0103-6831.

This paper analyzes, under a foucauldian framework, the incongruences of the discourse on education quality in Brazil, based on two assessment tools: the Basic Education Development Index and the Programme for International Student Assessment. Despite the emphasis on the need for improvements on the schooling processes, given how the discussions have advanced and how they are often part of the agenda pertaining to public policies in numerous spheres, the system itself sets pitfalls that can jeopardize their implementation. When the issue is simplified, by means of a rhetoric emphasis placed on measuring the students’ performance, there is a risk of putting the blame on them (as well as their teachers and schools), negating the state’s duty in guaranteeing quality education. Such movement is reinforced by a psychologizing take on development, presenting itself as a way of pedagogical exclusion and segregation.
