The goals and strategies established in the National Education Plan (PNE) for the period 2014-2024, fundamentally depend on Goal 20, which set how the financing of Brazilian education should be carried out in this period. To meet the targets, studies indicated that it would be necessary to invest a volume of financial resources equivalent to 10% of GDP by the end of the decade. This article examines how the financing of the PNE has been implemented, initially discussing the economic, political, and ideological crises that occurred in Brazil, since the election of Dilma Rousseff for the second term. It also highlights that Michel Temer (2016-2018) government adopted a fiscal austerity policy that led to budget cuts and a reduction in public spending, in the name of a “regeneration of the state”. Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022) government intensified this neoliberal-inspired policy, associating it with actions from a far-right conservative and authoritarian perspective, in which democracy, freedom of teaching, and the pluralism of pedagogical ideas and conceptions are permanently attacked. It is observed that there is a deconstruction of educational policies that were in progress, resulting in the almost impossibility of meeting Goal 20 and, as a consequence, compromising the fulfillment of almost all PNE goals, with serious consequences for the social and pedagogical quality of Brazilian education.
