CARVALHO, Fabrício Aarão Freire  and  GOUVEIA, Andréa Barbosa. THE PHANTON MENACE FROM PRIVATIZATION TO BASIC EDUCATION AT AMAZONIA PARAENSE. Revista Teias [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.61, pp.7-25.  Epub June 08, 2020. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2020.49562.

The bibliographic and documentary research aimed to analyze the role of the State from the logic of financing proposed by the new regulations aimed at Basic Education and its inducing effect in the process of mercartilization/privatization of public education in Pará from 2013 to 2018. A qualitative research about legal norms sustains the basic education regulation in Amazonia paraense, highlighting educational access data and data from State budget execution. The analysis of the data revealed trends of shrinkage in the public sector and advances in the private sector in the provision of basic education in accessing the public fund. The State played an important role in enabling a set of legal measures that intensified the logic of financial rationality for education, which has allowed the “silent” advance of the privatization process of basic education, the allocation of public financial resources for private initiative and establishment of public-private partnerships in the state.

Keywords : education policies; basic education; financing; mercantilization / privatization.
