SILVA, Osni Oliveira Noberto da; MIRANDA, Theresinha Guimarães  y  BORDAS, Miguel Angel Garcia. Conditions of teaching work in Brazil: test on devaluation in basic education. J. Pol. Educ-s [online]. 2019, vol.13, e68301.  Epub 18-Jul-2022. ISSN 1981-1969.  https://doi.org/10.5380/jpe.v13i0.68301.

The aim of this paper was to discuss the devaluation of Brazilian teachers who work in Basic Education, from an analysis of the teaching work conditions, the historical background, the legal framework and the influences of neoliberalism on state policies. What we can observe in the discussions with the authors and the data presented is that there is a gap between the salary of basic education teachers in Brazil and the average of professionals from other areas. There are remarkable advances in Brazilian educational legislation, with a view to valuing the teaching profession and discussions on how to make this appreciation, where salary always enters the discussion as a central element. In addition, it was possible to infer that there is a direct relationship between the quality of teachers' salary and its value to society, generating positive psychosocial effects for them, such as satisfaction, motivation and consequently directly affecting the quality of the work performed and the improvement of education in general. Thus, teachers and representative entities should maintain the claim of continuing professional appreciation towards society, rescuing the interest that formerly existed in young people to be teachers. At the same time, it is important that more academic texts such as this one need to be produced, including field studies, as this is an extremely relevant subject for the development of any nation.
