It also aims to analyze how the Union participates in the financing of basic education in the State and whether this participation contributes to the achievement of objectives such as: maintenance and development of public basic education, more equalization of financing capacity among the federation entities, If the union has fulfilled its supplementary and redistributive role and if, in this way, consecutively, it has been minimizing the regional inequalities in the offer of education. The paper also discusses the form of organization that Brazil has, that is, federalism and what the implications of this form of organization on public policies, especially the educational ones. They are presented and analyzed the revenues from own and transferred taxes (corresponding to the 25% required), revenue agreements and automatic transfers (Complementation of the Funds Union (FUNDEF / FUNDEB), Education Allowance, FNDE programs, among other recipes ). Also presented are the values of student cost and the values of investments in education in relation to GDP. The research data come from the reports of the website of MEC, FNDE, IBGE and the State Revenue. The Dialectical Historical Materialism subsidizes the work, mediated, mainly, from the categories Historicity, Totality and Contradiction. It was concluded that for most of the period in the historical series studied the Government's priority in terms of investments was fundamental education, only in the last year of the series was applied more resources in secondary education, and the other stages and modalities had weak investments , As well as higher education (UEPA). It is also concluded that, due to the functioning of the Funds, the state education network in the State of Pará loses resources in favor of municipalities, and despite the increase in resources, mainly through the complementation of the Union, educational inequalities still persist. That the Union's participation in the financing of education is very low when it is considered that it is the Federation entity that collects the most. The State is responsible, according to the data collected, for 92% of the funding of the state education network, so the role of the Union is insignificant in percentage terms. One exit would be the implementation of the CAQi, approved in PNE, Law 13.005 / 2014, and a walk toward the CAQ. However, two years after the approval of the PNE, little effort was made for its implementation, and the scenario of current political and economic crisis points to an untimely horizon.Acesso AbertoEducação e EstadoEducação básica - Aspectos econômicosPolíticas públicas educacionaisFundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento da Educação (FNDE)Rede Estadual de Ensino do Pará - FinanciamentoPará - EstadoDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO
