Public primary schooling in Brazil is
the responsibility of state and municipal governments and
not under the direct jurisdiction of the federal Ministry of
Education. As a consequence, when the federal government
wants to improve the quality of schooling, it has neither
the mandate nor the capacity to work directly with the
country's 184,800 public schools, serving 44 million
children. Instead, the Ministry has to mobilize the 27
state-level governments and 5,561 municipal governments to
undertake the desired reforms and improvements. The School
Improvement Program, designed to address these concerns,
consists of three projects. The first, Fundescola I (US$125
million), approved in April 1998, was designed to develop an
initial set of school-based instruments and support
structures to improve school equity and effectiveness and to
increase public awareness around the issue of school
quality.. The second project, Fundescola II (US$400 million)
, approved in June 1999, focused on improving and expanding
the set of tools developed in the first phase, extending
these to additional schools, and more aggressively engaging
the education establishment and the public sector in the
process of school-based development. The third project,
Fundescola III, aims at completing the work involved in the
development of the tools and processes and scaling these up
within Brazil. Fundescola III will be implemented in two
phases: Fundescola IIIA (US$320 million), approved on June
13, 2002, and Fundescola IIIB (planned for July 2006,
estimated amount US$450 million). |
