FALCIANO, Bruno Tovar; SANTOS, Edson Cordeiro dos  y  NUNES, Maria Fernanda Rezende. School infrastructure: a criterion for comparing quality in early childhood education. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.66, pp.880-906. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v0ix.4021.

This article aims to suggest a group of indicators useful to analyze in a comparative way the quality of infrastructure of early childhood facilities in the public school system. The challenge we set for ourselves was to answer questions such as: would it be possible to assess the quality of an entire school system? How do we compare different institutions in order to prioritize and maximize the public resources invested? Are there indicators that can be measured objectively and used in any educational environment? The study presents one of many possible answers, proposing quality indicators for checking the infrastructure, which can be applied to all the institutions of child-care education in Brazil, based on the example of two municipalities.

Palabras clave : Educational Indicators; Early Childhood Education; Educational Quality; School Infrastructure.
