This text is part of a research that aimed to scrutinize the relationship established between IDEB as a quality verification instrument, or as an educational accountability device. To meet the proposal, a study was carried out on neoliberalism and its influence on educational policies, in particular, its resonance into the IDEB index as an instrument to measure the quality of education. For this purpose, a bibliographical research was accomplished in scientific productions (theses and dissertations) with publication in the 'Catalog of theses and dissertations of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES)'. The selection of the corpus for analysis took place through a time frame between the years 2017 to 2019, with a total of 4 (four) dissertations as the final selection. The analyzes were carried out based on Foucault's theory of Discourse Analysis (DA). As evidenced, there is a movement that directs IDEB to an opposite direction to what it proposes to accomplish, to publish a result that points to the quality of education. The discourses of scientific productions reveal the marketing facet of the index, being recognized by educational actors only as a number, a classification/ranking label at the service of meritocracy. Therefore, its aspect is not seen as a diagnostic mechanism, but as a product of the neoliberal system that requires and conditions education for the 'production' of subjects that respond to the logic of competition, that is, acting efficiently and offering effective responses to the market.
