This enhancement is related to aspects such as training, pay and working conditions. The dissertation: Fundeb and recovery of municipal Magisterium in São Luís-MA (2007-2013): contradictions, advances and limitations, aims to analyze the contradictions and prospects of implementation of the remuneration of professionals Fundeb the Magisterium of the network city of São Luís-MA since 2007 (deployment Fundeb) until 2013. The research is qualitative in nature, based on dialectical materialism to an understanding of the categories of funding and professional development, advancing beyond the limits of formulation of educational policy in a contextualized way of organizing capitalist society. For purposes of organizing work, the survey was conducted in four stages: survey and literature research, documentary research; collection of educational and financial data related to Fundeb and the remuneration of professional municipal public teaching. Followed by analysis of these indicators, with reference to research Arelaro (1999; 2006), Davies (2004, 2008), Fontineles (2008), Gurgel (2006), Monlevade (2000, 2001, 2008), Pinto (2007, 2008, 2009), Saviani (2009), Saviani (2008, 2009), Mészáros (2005), Freitas (1995), Frigotto (2010), Oliveira (2003, 2004, 2005, 2007), Antunes (2006), Dourado (2010, 2011), Cury (2007) and other scholars. The survey results showed that, although one of the main objectives of Fundeb indicate appreciation of the Magisterium as an important aspect in improving the quality of education, the policy did not represent a significant increase in the remuneration of teachers. As the Statute of the Magisterium and the Career Plan, Career and Maturity (its regulatory tools career in São Luís) did not allow for a reorganization of the real gains that encourages career progression functional. Thus, based on this progression rates were not increased teacher salary with 10 years of service compared to early career teacher. Moreover, the small gains observed in compensation did not result only from Fundeb because although it is adjusted annually, this adjustment does not incorporate the remuneration of the teacher; the real gains are a result of the struggles and demands of the category of teachers, organized national strikes and demonstrations that drove the municipal struggles.
