Propostas para o Novo Saeb: o debate atual

Abstract

This article analyzes the current debate on reformulating Brazil’s Basic Education Assessment System (Saeb). Through a systematic review of documents, expert interviews, and analysis of academic presentations, the research identifies key consensuses and divergences regarding the objectives, format, structure, and governance of the New Saeb. The results indicate broad agreement on the need to update assessment matrices to align with the National Common Curricular Base, but reveal disagreements about the scope of this update and implementation methods. The study also notes the lack of robust planning and clear definition of resources needed to execute proposed changes. Despite extensive debate, there is a lack of practical actions and convergence between different views for Saeb’s effective reformulation. The research concludes that the process of constructing the New Saeb still lacks adequate planning and governance. It is urgent to reconcile opinions and proposals from different actors pragmatically, define change process governance, establish a priority agenda, and robustly plan execution based on resource mapping and investment projections.
