RESUMO

Through the Theory of Two-Sided Matching Markets, this work is aimed at assessing the São Paulo Municipality Basic School Enrollment System. As a first effort, we describe the school choice problem, a special case of the "College Admission Problem", demonstrating its main results. Next, we follow to the study of the main existing mechanisms of allocation as well as the one currently used in Sao Paulo. Simulations are used to corroborate the theoretical results. Finally, we present suggestions for the improvement of the current enrollment system, including the substitution of the existing mechanism.
