SUMMARY:

Studies on the economics of education suggest that learning is influenced by multiple dimensions, encompassing individual, family, school and socioeconomic aspects, while positively impacting regional economic dynamics. This research investigates the determinants of the quality of education in Brazil and its effects on student performance and municipal growth, using mainly microdata from ENEM and the Basic Education Census of INEP. In accordance with the literature and empirical research, it is inferred that ethnic and socioeconomic inequalities, characteristics of different family backgrounds, are critical determinants of learning, suggesting a strong intergenerational externality between parental conditions and children's performance. On the other hand, it was shown that short-term policies capable of improving the structural conditions of educational institutions can contribute significantly to reducing high school dropout rates, especially in public schools.Regarding the determination of economic growth, the results indicate that the quality of education contributes to medium-term effects on the output of Brazilian municipalities, while educational financing has an impact in the short and medium term, reflecting the capacity to increase aggregate demand simultaneously with the expected effects of improving education. It is concluded that, although rapid interventions can be effective against dropout, sustainable increases in learning require long-term policies capable of breaking multigenerational cycles of inequality.
