SANTOS, VIVIAN  and  MENDES, ENICEIA GONÇALVES. AGE-GRADE DISTORTION OF STUDENTS FROM SÃO PAULO WITH AND WITHOUT SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.74, pp.486-507.  Epub Oct 22, 2019. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v30i74.5757.

This study aimed to analyze the age-grade distortion of basic education students from the state of São Paulo, comparing the target population of special education (PAEE) to the others. The data were collected from the School Census, with a quota sample of students from 48 cities in São Paulo, in the historical period from 2008 to 2014, considering the student’s birth year and grade. In relation to the PAEE, the results showed a late entry into early childhood education, a much higher proportion of age-grade distortion concentrated already in the initial years of basic education, and a lack of evolution in these indicators along the historical series of the first seven years of the school inclusion policy. It can be concluded that there is a need to move forward so that, more than simply providing a desk in a regular classroom, the country can effectively ensure the right to education for the target population of special education and make its schools more inclusive.
