Abstract

The article aimed to evaluate the public investments in basic education and the students' scores in national assessments in the state of Goiás from 2012 to 2019 and analyze the similarity between these factors in order to determine whether greater financial resources are associated with better school performance. The research methodology, characterized as exploratory, quantitative and bibliographic, was developed through correlation analysis, the data used to measure both the investment per state, per student, and the result of the scores in the evaluations were obtained from the National Treasury page, Siope and INEP. The results indicated that over the years the investment per student increased as well as their performance in the SAEB test, except in the years 2017 and 2019 that presented a drop in the investment per student, but the resource distributed to the State and the expenses in the area of education were disproportionate, because, a higher total amount was distributed to the State, but 70% of it was not spent, however, the performance of students in national assessments had progressively increased. Thus, we note that it is not a general rule to make a larger investment and obtain better results, the correlation was significant, but may be affected by other situations not analyzed in this study.
