Abstract

This article conducted an impact assessment of elementary schools in the Brazilian municipality of Belo Horizonte (BH), which were constructed and are managed through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). In order to achieve this objective, the grades of Portuguese language and mathematics disciplines from the SAEB exam in the years 2017 and 2019 were employed as a proxy for performance. The outcomes were diverse and revealed a modest positive impact. Nevertheless, the findings suggest that the superior performance of students from PPP schools could be linked to the enhanced infrastructure provided by these institutions.
