Based on budgetary data and household surveys, the distribution of educational spending across different income groups is estimated, and its determinants are decomposed: the distribution of the target population, attendance rates, and preferences for public provision. The results indicate that spending at all three educational levels has a pro-poor and progressive profile, although there are differences in redistributive intensity among levels. Primary education shows the highest concentration among lower-income groups, while secondary education, due to its higher cost per student, generates the most significant redistributive impact. These findings highlight the importance of public educational policies as effective tools for reducing inequality and reinforce the need to prioritize social investment in children and adolescents. Este artículo analiza la incidencia redistributiva de la inversión pública en educación en la provincia de Entre Ríos, Argentina, comparando específicamente los niveles inicial, primario y secundario mediante la aplicación de la metodología de Análisis de Incidencia de Beneficios (BIA). A partir de datos presupuestarios y encuestas de hogares, se estima la distribución del gasto educativo a lo largo de distintos grupos de ingresos y se descomponen sus determinantes: la distribución de la población objetivo, la tasa de asistencia y la preferencia por la provisión pública. Los resultados indican que el gasto en los tres niveles educativos presenta un perfil pro-pobre y progresivo, aunque con diferencias en la intensidad redistributiva entre niveles. La educación primaria muestra la mayor concentración en los estratos de menores ingresos, mientras que la educación secundaria, debido a su mayor costo por estudiante, genera el impacto redistributivo más significativo. Estos hallazgos evidencian la importancia de las políticas educativas públicas como herramientas eficaces para reducir la desigualdad y fortalecer la necesidad de priorizar la inversión social en la niñez y la adolescencia.
