Abstract
The article sought to shed light on the importance of education in the development of society. However, social indicators indicated unfavorable situations, with the Human Development Index, which is divided into three dimensions (longevity, income and education), its worse performance in education, a context aggravated by the socioeconomic differences perceived in the municipalities of the Zona da Mata. Secondary data on municipal collection and education expenditures were collected from the Minas Gerais Social Responsibility Index on the population at the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and on the municipal development indexes collected from the Atlas of Human Development of the municipalities, prepared in partnership with the United Nations Development Program, the Institute of Applied Economic Research and the João Pinheiro Foundation. The result was somewhat distressing, since the calculations indicated that there was no correlation between spending on education and elevation of the index. However, the outcome of the research corroborates other studies, which indicate that several factors need to be evaluated in order to obtain an outcome that accurately portrays this reality.
