Using a parametric measure of inequality of opportunity, this paper analyzes the relationship between inequality of opportunity in PISA scores and the performance gap between private and public schools in Brazilian states from 2006 to 2015. Also measured by type of school, the results suggest that the inequality of opportunity in the private environment is greater than in public schools. Additionally, there is a positive and significant relationship between inequality of opportunity and the gap between private and public schools, indicating that unfair inequality can be one of the factors associated with the inequality between the two types of school.
