Right to Education

the legal design of FUNDEB

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the legal issue involving FUNDB and its reflexs in the spheres of the Unios, the States, the Federal District and Municipalities. Focusing on the right to education, we analyse the education financing structure provided for in the Federal Constitution, through two judgments judged in the Federal Senate regarding the constitutionalization of the basic education funding funds, FUNDEF and FUNDEB. It’s concluded that the study on educational funding, in the case, FUNDEB demonstrates how difficult it’s to face regional inequalities that, each year, intensify and constitute na economic barrier to the contry’s development.
