As from the bibliographic review this essay aims to identify the historical course and the foundations of neoliberal theory and its influence in Brazil from the early 1990s to the early 21st century, and the consequences on basic education policy. This period is marked by the recent redemocratization of the country and the legal establishment of social policies, including education policy. However, in this moment of consecration of rights, the process of (counter) state reform begins. Education policy was prominent within the neoliberal reforms, in which one of the main instruments used was the large-scale evaluations. From the adoption of neoliberal prescriptions, one can see the denial of constitutional precepts and the deficient affirmation of social rights. For the analysis and problematization of this theme, this article is divided into two parts: i) “State Reform and its consequences in Brazilian education policy”, which addresses the emergence of neoliberal theory, its spread in Brazil and its impact on education policy.; and ii) “Large-Scale Evaluation”, which deals with how social policies are evaluated, especially in large-scale basic education. Composing the work there are also the introduction and final considerations sections.

Keywords : State Reform; Evaluation; Education Policy.
