The temporary teachers in the municipal educational systems of the State of Pará, Brazil (2011-2020)

Abstract

This article analyses the presence of temporary teachers in the public municipal educational systems in the state of Pará between 2011 and 2020. This exploratory research, based on data collected through documental analysis, employs quantitative research methods. The data was analyzed based on five variables: population size, per capita GPD, educational systems funding capacity, percentage of enrollment in rural schools, and ratio of municipal level teaching positions in relation to total jobs in the municipality. Our findings indicate a generalized disregard of legislation, which remain stable between 2011 and 2020, as well as significant disparities between municipalities in terms of temporary teacher’s presence in educational systems.
