| Summary: | This study focuses on the financing of basic education in municipalities
of the Bahia State during the period 1997-2001, seeking to
analyze the relationship between variations in the level of financial
commitment to education among local governments and the achievement
on standardized tests of students in municipal school systems.
The data pertained to variables indicating municipal receipts and expenditures
with respect to basic education during the decade of the
1990s and also to the test scores of students enrolled in the municipal
fundamental schools. The results revealed an absence of significant
correlations between indicators of municipal financial commitment
to education and student achievement. On the other hand, the findings
demonstrated that there is a greater variation in levels of financial
commitment among the richer municipalities than among the
poorer ones. Thus, the data indicate that where there exists a relative
power to make decisions about education expenditures, there is a
weak positive association between financial commitment and school
achievement levels. |
