O Plano de Desenvolvimento da Educação: uma análise no contexto escolar

Abstract

The current background in which are included the public policies in Brazil introduces several issues, reflections and studies about the theme of the education policies and of the educational administration. For such intent, it is necessary to make a review of the history on how the last governments are dealing with their education policies from a critical perspective of the neoliberal speech in the education area. In that sense, the State has been reorganized from a neoliberal speech, which attempts to criticize the interventionist State, promoting policies in order to minimize the action of the State in the social policies. Besides, it establishes a new manner of organizing and managing the State through a public management administration. Thus, the present paper aimed at analyzing the actions in the Plano de Desenvolvimento da Educação [Education Plan of Development] (PDE), in the context of the PNE, relating it to the neoliberal education policies and its repercussion in a state public system’s school in the town of Pelotas (RS). The methodology is based on a qualitative approach, through the document analysis of the Plano Nacional da Educação [National Plan of Education] (PNE) and mainly the Plano de Desenvolvimento da Educação (PDE) and also observations in a state public system’s school in the town of Pelotas (RS) and interviews with a teacher in such institution. The PDE is introduced like the plan that can solve the educational issues, intending to be a “leap” in the basic and superior education quality between several other changes in the education systems. However, the analysis of the PDE revealed the evident weaknesses in this plan, like the complete disarticulation with the schools, the scarcity of information about it, the continuous presence of the neoliberal speech, and so forth.
