O All for Education Movement estimates that for the public education network to achieve good learning outcomes, such as good grades in Basic Education Development Index (Ideb), it is necessary to spend at least R$ 4,300.00 per year on an elementary school student from the urban area who studies part-time.
However, according to a complete survey carried out by the NGO in 2015, 43% of Brazilian municipalities, that is, 2,372 municipalities and 5 states: Amazonas, Pará, Maranhão, Paraíba and Minas Gerais invested in education less than the value estimated.

This minimum investment estimate by the Todos Pela Educação Movement is considered only for elementary education. However, staying below this minimum value, despite harming the quality of education, is not considered illegal.
According to data from the study, while some teaching networks allocate between R$ 15,000.00 and R$ 18,000.00 per student, 43% are below the expected minimum and 25% are below R$ 3,600.00 per student/year.
Last Tuesday, the 25th, the NGO released the 2019 edition of the Yearbook Brazilian Basic Education, made in partnership with Editora Moderna. The study analyzes the themes of the 20 goals of the National Education Plan (PNE).
In addition, the Yearbook highlights the main challenges to be faced for the country to improve the quality of education. Among the main points is the inequality of investment among the numerous educational networks spread across the country.
As for inequality, the study points out that while a municipality in Rio Grande do Sul allocated R$ 19.5 thousand per student per year, a municipality in Maranhão approved R$ 2.9 thousand.
According to the director of educational policies at Todos Pela Educação, Olavo Nogueira Filho, if Fundeb were not in force, this inequality could be up to 100 times greater.
The Fund for the Maintenance and Development of Basic Education and the Valuation of Education Professionals (Fundeb) is a set of 27 funds, 26 from the state and one from the Federal District, which serves as a mechanism for redistributing resources earmarked for Education Basic.
In other words, this mechanism is like a big safe from which money comes out to value educators and keep operating all stages of Basic Education, that is, from nurseries to Youth and Adult Education (EJA).
Fundeb came into effect in 2007 and will extend until 2020, as provided for in Constitutional Amendment No. 53, which amended Art. 60 of the Transitional Constitutional Provisions Act (ADCT).
According to the NGO's website, the Movement is a civil society organization, non-profit, plural and non-partisan. The organization was founded on September 6, 2006, at the Ipiranga Museum in São Paulo.
The entity's commitment is to education. On the day of its foundation, the letter Compromisso Todos Pela Educação was presented. Furthermore, the Movement believes that an independent country is built with quality education.
