Abstract

The research analyzes the interfaces between university extension and the financing of basic education, based on the experience of the Study Group on Education Financing in the extension project “Formative Pathways in Educational Policies”, linked to the State University of Rio Grande do Norte (UERN), revisiting the objective to align it with what was effectively carried out. It is a qualitative study, grounded in the historical-dialectical approach, using the Method of Meaning Cores to examine academic texts on the financing of basic education in Brazil. The results reveal three cores: financing as an expression of the social struggle for public funds; redistribution as a principle of educational justice; and extension as mediation between knowledge and social transformation. It concludes that the articulation between extension and research strengthens the public university as a space of resistance and emancipation, essential for the realization of the right to education and equity.
