This paper will discuss the centrality of external evaluation policies and their use as a regulatory mechanism both nationally and internationally. To this end, the article is divided into four parts. The first part discusses New Public Management and the role of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in educational reforms. The second part focuses on the role of PISA as a regulatory instrument. In the third part, the discussion focuses on evaluation policies in Brazil and their alignment with the regulatory logic presented. In the last part, the discussion focuses on the influences of these orientations on curricula, which have culminated, for example, in the creation of the Common National Curriculum Base of High School in Brazil.
