Análise da eficiência da aplicação dos recursos públicos nos resultados do IDEB das escolas do município de Palmas nos anos de 2019 a 2023

Abstract

This study analyzes the efficiency of the application of public resources in municipal schools in Palmas-TO, using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model to evaluate the impact of these investments on IDEB (Basic Education Development Index) results in the years 2019, 2021, and 2023. The research covers a universe of 45 schools, with a sample of 12 units, and uses as inputs the Resource-to-Student Ratio (RRA), the number of active teachers and enrolled students, and as output the IDEB results. Through the DEA-BCC method, it was possible to identify efficiency patterns among the schools and classify their results into categories ranging from high to low efficiency. The results show that most schools present medium or high efficiency. It is concluded that efficient management practices are essential for improving educational outcomes and optimizing the use of public resources. This study provides support for public managers and educational policy makers, promoting debates on the efficient allocation of resources and the improvement of educational quality in the municipality of Palmas-TO.
