Abstract

Law No. 10,693/2003 established an important public policy by adding art. 26-A in the National Education Guidelines and Bases Law (LDBEN), mandating the teaching of Afro-Brazilian history and culture in primary and secondary education establishments. This is a reparatory and anti-racist policy, motivated by the erasure of the collective memory and culture of the black Brazilian population. However, the effective application of art. 26-A is still incipient, showing that this discussion needs to be deepened in external control institutions, especially after the inclusion of the topic in the performance measurement framework of the Courts of Accounts. This work intends to discuss the possibilities of action by the Court of Accounts to implement art. 26-A, considering the role of this institution in evaluating public policies to ensure fundamental rights, such as education.
