Summary: This study aims to identify the technical efficiency and productivity change as the Federal
Education, Science and Technology (IF), covering the period 2012 to 2013 total sample consists
of 19 units. Parallel to this, we performed an analysis of the expansion of the Federal Networking
and current spending by students involved in the internalization of professional and technological
education process. As a theoretical aspect, discussed the human capital theory (SCHULTZ, 1960,
1961, 1962; BECKER, 1960; MINCER, 1958), with the forms of investment in education in
Brazil and its political accountability. To operationalize the research verified the technical
efficiency through the methodology of data envelopment analysis (DEA) using indicators
developed by the Secretary for Vocational and Technical Education (SETEC) established by the
Court of Accounts (TCU) and presented annually in the Report provision of Annual Accounts.
The results relative efficiency demonstrates that only 31% of the Federal Institutes analyzed the
efficiency score attained in the year 2012 and also in 2013. However, when analyzed productivity
through time with the Malmquist Index, you can see that 63% of the Federal Institutes are
moving along to the efficiency frontier showing increasing product education within the units.
Additionally, with the mean comparison test (z test), evidence that the Federal Institutes
considered effective exhibited better average scores of graduates and lower expenses for current
students enrolled indicating that the result set can not be conditioned to higher expenditures were
found financial.
