Abstract:
This article analyzes the budget for Minas Gerais state's public school network and teachers' wages from the perspective of government funding between 2003 and 2014. Focuses on governmental administration's modernization and the effects of the program called "management shock" in resources' allocation for education maintenance and the teachers' payment. We also analyze the limitation imposed by the Law of Fiscal Responsibility on personnel expenses. The methodology used consisted in analysing the budget data and the reports from Court of Accounts of the State of Minas Gerais. The work is part of the research "Remuneration of basic education teachers: public settings, impacts, dilemmas and perspectives" held to the Observatory of Education. The analysis showed a financial resources' reduction for education maintenance and the non-implementation of the minimum wage floor for the state's basic education school network.
