This article aims to analyze the application in education of the resources of financial compensation arising from the exploitation of natural resources, especially those of oil, oil shale and natural gas and the pre-salt carried out by the municipalities of the Metropolitan Region of the State of Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ). Based on bibliographic and documentary research, an analysis of the data available on the websites of the State and Municipal Audit Courts is presented, as well as on the Transparency and/or Municipal Finance Departments. It was revealed that of the 22 municipalities of the RMRJ, only eight (36.4%) declared to invest part of these resources in education, and, of these, only five made available the description of the expenses paid, a fact that makes difficult the investigation and analysis of the destination of these resources. Among other results, it was exposed that the destination, for education, of 75% of the royalties resources has been restrained by judicial processes, which are awaiting judgment in the Federal Supreme Court.

Keywords : education funding; royalties; special participation, pre-salt.
