RODRIGUEZ, VICENTE. Education funding and public policies: Fundef and the decentralization policy. Cad. CEDES [online]. 2001, vol.21, n.55, pp. 42-57. ISSN 0101-3262.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0101-32622001000300004.

This paper examines the discussion around Fundef's main impacts on the present educational policy. Through a particular approach of these impacts upon the public educational system and the inter-governmental relationships within Brazil, this paper aims at arising a polemic around the possibilities and settings created by the Fund. Many discrepancies as to MEC's official position are highlighted by the author.
