A importância dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia para a Redução da Desigualdade Educacional no Brasil.

Abstract

The present study investigates the importance of the Federal Institutes of Education, Science, and Technology (IFEs) in reducing educational inequality in Brazil. The research was conducted through a literature review and document analysis using data from the Basic Education Census, INEP Reports, OECD/PISA, and the Nilo Peçanha Platform. The results derived from the PISA analysis indicate that IFEs perform above the national average. In addition, about IDEB, the average grades of IFEs are higher than the general average. When considering the specific results of Institutes located in the North and Northeast regions, it is observed that these institutions, in addition to surpassing the general average, approach the highest grades achieved by private schools. Combined with the conception of education for human emancipation, these results aim to offer comprehensive training and opportunities to less privileged individuals, revealing that IFEs constitute an effective strategy for reducing educational inequality.
