ACCOUNTABILITY IN EDUCATION: MORE QUALITY ADJUSTMENT OR ONLY A STAGE OF THE EVALUATOR STATE?

The work aims to discuss issues relating to accountability in education, considering the emergence of evaluation policies associated with responsability and account as a mechanism of quality control in the educational sector. Based on the literature review and through content analysis, it covers conceptual aspects of the theme, highlighting the association between evaluation and accountability policies at a time when new political agendas take it as a resource for the management of public services, with important educational policy adherence in Brazil, where the accountability discussion gains momentum. It questions, precisely, the input of these initiatives in Brazil, associated with the emergence of the evaluator-States, at a time when new and more sophisticated evaluation mechanisms begin to emerge in countries more advanced in the capitalism, imposing regulations that are increasingly universal and global, which show different stages of development of the evaluation in national States.
