Uma análise dos resultados educacionais dos estados brasileiros

This study aims to analyze the educational quality indicators of Brazilian states between 2007 and 2017, as well as to present a measure for their technical efficiency. The stochastic frontier method was used for the final years of elementary school and high school, and showed the importance of teacher qualification and class size to achieve better performances in the Basic Education Development Index. School structure obtained negative results for high school performance. The elementary schools responsible for the final years were efficient in terms of education spending, contrary to high schools that proved inefficient regarding the states’ public education spending.
