The present research investigates the situation of the school maintenance programs of the National Fund for the Development of Education (FNDE) based on the cooperation regime established between this autarchy and the Collaborating Centers for the Monitoring and Management of Educational Programs (CECAMPEs), founded in partnership with Federal Universities, with the objective of promoting the improvement of school maintenance programs. For this purpose, the actions of CECAMPEs referring to the Midwest and North regions of Brazil will be comparatively analyzed during the period from 2020 to 2022. The research seeks to understand how the collaboration proposed by the FNDE developed and how the CECAMPEs acted to guarantee their objective of improving the execution and performance of the management of school maintenance programs, namely: the Basic Direct Money at School Program (PDDE) and its Integrated Actions, the Path to School Program and the National Program to Support School Transportation (PNATE). For this study, we consider the process of configuring the financing of Brazilian education in its advances and obstacles in directing resources to basic education, rescuing the fund policy and based on the legal precepts stipulated in the Federal Constitution of 1988 and in the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (LDB) of no 9394/1996.In this way, the limits and possibilities of the current policy of decentralization of basic education resources in Brazil will be verified, signaling the results produced by this collaboration. The work is structured from a comparative perspective in education with a critical-dialectic approach and will include a qualitative-quantitative analysis of the collected data and documental analysis related to the theme, both articulated to meet the research objectives.
