Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze education and its relationship with regional development within the context of implementing 2014-2024 National Education Plan, focusing on Basic Education. The article is characterized as a review based on the principles of bibliographic and documentary research, using primary and secondary sources. It is justified by the lack of discussions involving the relationship between education and regional development, in particular the analyses directed to basic education. Researchers support the premise that education contributes to poverty reduction and regional development, as the expansion of intellectual capacity generates more wealth and turns the integration to labor market easier. There are major challenges both in universalizing access to basic education and in ensuring quality standards in Brazil. It is concluded that the premise in which education is associated only with economic growth and income improvement must be overcome.

Key words: Education and development. Educational policies. Basic education. National Education Plan. Regional Development.
