The Impact of Social Actors in the Processing of the New Fundeb

Financing of basic education in Brazil, since 2007, has occurred essentially through Fundeb resources.The prospect of ending in 2020 led to several efforts being launched to formulate a fund, this time, of a permanent nature.In this context, several actors -state or not -fought inside and outside parliament seeking to influence the decision-making process of this policy.Although they have been present in the process of formulating educational policies, the literature is still incipient when it comes to analyzing the participation of social actors.With this in mind, this article aims to analyze the impact of the influence of two social actors on the processing of the New Fundeb: The National Campaign for the Right to Education (CNDE) and Todos pela Educação (TPE).To do so, we will use the theoretical framework of the Economics of Education and Political Science.Furthermore, we will analyze the proposals of these groups for the permanent Fundeb and the speeches defended in communication vehicles.The investigation demonstrated a fruitful theoretical-methodological path for studying the participation of non-governmental actors in public policy processes.With regard to the participation of the groups studied in the processing of the New Fundeb, we consider that there is no monopoly, although the CNDE has demonstrated greater impact on legislation and the TPE greater participation in the media.
