Abstract

This research is linked to the State, Policies and Management of Education Research Line, of the Postgraduate Program in Education, of the Federal University of Uberlândia and its general objective is to carry out a systematic review of theses and dissertations developed in the years 2013 to 2023 on the Direct Money at School Program (PDDE). The PDDE aims to support school needs with a view to improving the physical infrastructure and pedagogical actions of Basic Education schools; It also intends to encourage school autonomy by promoting self-management, counting on community participation for social control. This study used a qualitative approach methodology, based on bibliographical systematic review research, with a descriptive and critical analysis of academic research. As selection criteria for studies on PDDE on the CAPES Theses Portal, we used the following descriptors “PDDE”, “financial decentralization”, “school management”, “financing/education” and “democratic management”, excluding works that did not belong to the field of education. We used the period from 2013 to 2023 as a time frame, and the works were selected with the inclusion of texts according to the objectives and the problem investigated, to later proceed with the analysis, interpretation and presentation of the results found. As for the results, we found from the literature review that part of the research was concerned with offering training proposals on the PDDE, as they found the need for specific qualifications for school principals. We found that the PDDE is a promising public policy to promote and strengthen school autonomy, in addition to improving the educational and pedagogical infrastructure, however, significant challenges were highlighted in implementing the program, both with regard to the participation of the school community in implementing the social control and promotion of democratic management as in the accountability of the Program. Therefore, it is important that school directors, as well as everyone involved in the succession of procedures involving the implementation of the PDDE, receive some type of technical qualification to be able to carry out all stages of the adhesion, receipt and provision process. of accounts, with the horizon of fulfilling the objectives of the Program, so that it can contribute significantly to the quality of Brazilian public education.
