Abstract

As condições de vida dos professores da educação básica, quando comparadas às da média da população ocupada, são melhores no Brasil. Mas a forte presença de professores em domicílios com renda per capita inferior a 0,5 salário mínimo (SM) requer atenção. As escolas públicas, com destaque para as estaduais seguidas mais à distância pelas municipais, apresentam, em geral, melhores indicadores de instrução e organização sindical, sendo que as escolas privadas possuem indicadores piores em quase todas as regiões brasileiras. A remuneração dos professores é relativamente baixa no Brasil e varia entre regiões e por local de residência. A consolidação de uma nova realidade, na qual o salário médio seja o equivalente à média dos profissionais com nível superior completo, deve mudar essa realidade e criar condições mais favoráveis à melhoria do desempenho dos alunos em matéria de aprendizado. Life conditions for teachers working in basic education are better than those of the average Brazilian working population. However, the high number of teachers living in households with per capita income below 0.5 of the minimum wage requires attention. Teachers in public schools have better conditions than private school teachers, when controlling for teachers schooling and union representation. Nevertheless, teachers’ incomes are reduced and salaries vary quite a bit throughout the country. When teachers’ average salaries equal the average of the population with tertiary education, it would create conditions that would foster improved student learning.
