Interfaces entre a Educação Básica e o processo de desenvolvimento humano da Bahia

Abstract

Basic education has a fundamental and essential responsibility in the development of human beings. Although complex, the relationship between the educational process and human development is close and bidirectional, promoting results that involve economic aspects and quality of social life. This work aims to analyze the effects of education on human development, highlighting numbers from the State of Bahia. To achieve the objective, two studies were developed that contribute to contextualizing the proposed association. The first analyzes the participation of private schools in the education network of the state of Bahia, verifying the quality available between private and public establishments in evaluating the results obtained by students in national reference exams. The second research presents the need to measure the Human Development Index (HDI) closer to regional educational conditions, also considering in the standard calculation, the evaluation of students in proficiency tests, according to the Basic Education Development Index (IDEB). The results achieved highlight the qualitative disparity in student performance in education in Brazil, pointing out the North and Northeast regions as the most disadvantaged. Bahia follows the same regional dynamics, confirming the need for effective public policies from the State to reverse its situation. In conclusion of this study, the need for actions to improve the conditions presented is observed with the aim of contributing to the increase in human development indicators and quality of life in the state of Bahia.
