“…This evidence is consistent with that ofLassibille, Tan, Jesse, & Nguyen (2010), who found that the implementation of tools to streamline and tighten the workflow process of all actors across the service delivery chain in Madagascar in 2005 improved school attendance and reduced repetition, but on average, did not improve student achievement on French, math, and Malagasy. The impact of the reform did not vary by teacher type (i.e., regular v. contract teachers)(Glewwe & Maïga 2011).64 In contrast,Menezes-Filho & Pazello (2007) found that increases in the relative salaries of public school teachers in Brazil in 1998 improved student achievement on the national exam of Portuguese, math, and science. However, as the authors discuss, their estimation relies on the assumption that unobserved differences in proficiency across systems within municipalities are constant over time.…”

“…Foi estabelecido que 60% dos recursos educacionais deveriam ir para desenvolvimento da educação fundamental e o programa estabelece um piso de gasto por aluno. No Brasil, Menezes-Filho & Pazello (2007) usando dados do FUN-DEF, encontram que a proficiência dos alunos da escola pública é positivamente impactada pelo salário dos professores, especialmente os das regiões mais carentes. Esse resultado é similar ao encontrado por Mizala & Romaguera (2004) no programa do Chile.…”

“…Essa abordagem considera que, além da renda, fatores como escolaridade dos indivíduos, escolaridade dos pais, idade e sexo seriam importantes elementos na explicação do nível de acesso a serviços públicos, uma vez que condicionariam, por exemplo, o grau de conhecimento individual a respeito da existência e das formas de acesso, o que afetaria o comportamento desses agentes, por meio de diversos mecanismos. Essas explicações estão presentes com freqüência, por exemplo, nos estudos que analisam as condições de acesso às políti-cas de educação e também em análises que visam a explicar os diferenciais no nível educacional das crianças de baixa renda (Barros et al 2001;Menezes-Filho;Pazello, 2005).…”
