ALVES, Fatima; ELACQUA, Gregory; MARTINEZ, Matías  and  SANTOS, Humberto. Effects of the Plano de Desenvolvimento da Escola results. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.64, pp.128-159. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v27i64.3765.

The Plano de Desenvolvimento da Escola (PDE-Escola) School Development Plan is a planning tool for schools that receive technical training and financial support from the Ministry of Education (MEC) to develop an improvement plan for management, relationship with the community, pedagogical political projects and infrastructure. Administrative and Prova Brasil (2005 to 2012) data, as well as fixed models estimation on school level per year, were used to assess whether the PDE-Escola has an effect on academic performance. The schools were separated into three groups: a) schools carrying out the PDE-Escola without financial resources; b) schools carrying out the PDE-Escola with financial resources; and c) schools that stopped receiving financial resources from the PDE-Escola. The results show that the PDE-Escola is effective only when associated with the transfer of resources. The results were quite heterogeneous among Brazilian states, which suggests that the design and implementation context of the program matters.

Keywords : Plano de Desenvolvimento da Escola; PDE-Escola, School Development Plan; Accountability; Fixed Models; Educational Policy.
