Remanejo emergencial:: Impactos no desempenho discente

School transfer deals with the transfer of the student voluntarily or as a disciplinary measure. On the other hand, an alternative form of school transfer is still recurring in Brazil's education systems, which has not yet been characterized: relocation. The relocation is the mass transfer of students (whether or not they include teachers and administration) from one school unit to another, being a planned or emergency transfer. Factors that lead to relocation include refurbish (planned or unplanned), natural disasters, sub or overcrowding of the school unit, and strikes. In the context of basic education in Brazil, which already suffers from a lack of resources, emergency relocation (ESR) is common and has the potential to dehydrate the quality of education, which is already low. In this sense, the objective of this work was to verify the effects of a case of ESR on student performance. In order to do so, the scores of the high school students of the Integrated Education Center 057 - Doctor Nilo Pecanha (CIEP) before and after the ESR of the entire faculty, teaching and administration of the State College Dr. Thiers Cardoso (CETC) to the same building where CIEP operated. The coexistence of the CIEP and CETC after the ESR resulted in a significant decrease in the performance of CIEP students, mainly in chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics. In this way, ESR appears as a new topic to be discussed and evaluated by educators and education scientists.
