VIEIRA, Ivan Souza. Educational opportunities in Brazil: what Saeb data say. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.75, pp.748-778. Epub May 08, 2020. ISSN 1984-932X. https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v30i75.6325.
This paper aims to contribute to the research on inequality and school effectiveness by mapping the distribution of educational opportunities in Brazil based on data from the 2013 SAEB. To do so, we evaluated the opportunities of elementary school students to have access, according to their socioeconomic level (NSE), to more qualified teachers and schools with better physical, human and pedagogical resources. We have demonstrated that the student’s socioeconomic level is an important variable in the distribution of educational opportunities in Brazil, even in a context of expansion and universalization of access to elementary education.
