This article presents research results that examined the performance of the Federal Government in the dissemination of performance culture in Brazilian basic education from 1995 to 2012. The performance culture comprises a plurality of principles, knowledge, values, technologies and modes of performance do, think and behave based on performance. It delegates to the market the elaboration of educational (technical) managers models and makes the school responsible for the results (NOSELLA; BUFFA; LEAL, 2010). The strengthening of this culture has generated significant changes in the educational daily. The text examines four strategies of the Federal Government that aimed to disseminate and strengthen the culture of performance in Brazilian education: a) the establishment of a system of assessment of basic education b) the holding of scientific olympiads in different areas of knowledge c) the awarding of prizes to “successful initiatives” of teachers and schools; and d) the implementation of actions for social mobilization to monitor and supervise the quality of education. The text results from a review of the literature that analyzes the policies of external assessment in the country and the analysis of legal and normative federal documents. The research reveals the continuity of the initiatives instituted by the Federal Government in the period studied, marked by the deepening of managerial logic, by the dissemination of market values in the public educational field and by the induction of state and municipal governments to create their own evaluation systems and the use of its results with strong consequences for teachers.

Keywords : Performance culture; Policies for the assessment of basic education; Performance of the Federal Government.
