Abstract

REBELO, Andressa Santos  and  KASSAR, Mônica de Carvalho Magalhães. Education indicators related to the enrollment of pupils with disabilities in Brazil (1974-2014). Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.70, pp.276-307. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v0ix.3989.

The use of statistical data has been underestimated by part of educational literature for some time. Being aware of this, the present paper aims to discuss the use of educational indicators to understand the situation of this field. The text presents and analyzes education indicators regarding the enrollment of Special Needs pupils in Brazil between 1974 and 2014. The data are analyzed from a critical perspective, in connection with the area literature. The study challenges the way in which the Federal Government has been using such data, in order to demonstrate advances in school inclusion policy. The conclusion is that such indicators need to be developed from a perspective that considers the impacts of government action, and to be connected with other data and academic research.

Keywords : Special Education; Educational Indicators; Educational Policies; Social Indicators.
