Based on extensive documentary research and analysis of statistical data, it’s possible to verify a strong adherence, in the various mandates, to the intrinsic values of the New Public Management, which, according with business practices, promoted flexibility in labor relations, reconfiguring educational, and not complying with national laws, such as the Law on the National Teaching Salary Floor.
