The study aims to verify the impact of social development indicators, enrollment rates, students, teachers, and municipal education spending on the illiteracy rate of the Santa Catarina municipalities, 293 municipalities were analyzed. From the theoretical framework, research hypotheses were drawn, to validate the study. The research was descriptive and correlational; it was made through a document analysis with a quantitative approach, using the logistic regression technique. The survey results highlight that pre-school education and a high number of students per teacher affect the literacy rate, and increased spending on kindergarten can produce better literacy indicators. It is inferred that this confirms the theory that public spending and the form of management influence on teaching-quality indicators, particularly in pre-school education, which may show that the sooner the child enters school and the more the municipality invests in these children, better will be total literacy indicators of the population.
