Abstract

This article presents an historical analysis of the financing of basic education in Brazil, from the colonial period until after the 1988 federal constitution. For that purpose, the main laws that deal with the issue are used as primary source. In addition to the documentary analysis, this study is based on the critical educational theory, seeking to bring the issue of financing closer to key categories of understanding Brazilian social reality, among them: the colonial slave production mode (GORENDER, 1980), dependent capitalism (FERNANDES, 2005) and expansion to less (ALGEBAILE, 2009). In addition, the article suggests the category of “autocratic democratization” as an analytical possibility for Brazilian public education.
