DIAGNOSIS OF THE QUALITY OF BRAZILIAN BASIC EDUCATION IN MUNICIPAL NETWORKS

Abstract

Motivation punctuates Brazilian basic education in municipal networks, Saeb (2021). The objective is to verify the proficiency of the average values in Mathematics, Portuguese Language and Literacy Rate, between states in municipal and private schools, for the capital and interior. The mean, mode, and median were calculated to evaluate symmetry, kurtosis, and coefficient of variation, with the histogram for graphical visualization. Covariances for pairs of disciplines were obtained in relation to autarchies and regionalities both in the capital and in the interior. The test of equality of covariance measured the similarity in the performance of the disciplines. The scatter plot between Euclidean and Mahalanobis Distances for the Literacy Rate by state showed sensitivity that the Southeast and Midwest regions.
