Gestão da educação (nova gestão pública na gestão da educação estadual)

Abstract

Post-New Public Management (Post-NGP) seeks new approaches to public administration aiming for a more integrated and cohesive State, based on democracy and citizenship through social participation. In Brazil, federal, state and municipal government innovations reflect Post- NGP principles, including collaboration, partnerships, public service networks, holistic vision, accountability, responsiveness, participation, leadership, coordination, electronic government and strengthening bureaucracy. This movement highlights social interaction and the involvement of diverse stakeholders as the basis for administrative innovation. The present study investigated the perception of these principles by members of a state school in Rio Grande do Sul, using qualitative methodology, with semi-open questionnaires and lexical analysis, mediated by the Iramuteq software. The 33 participants, mostly between 44 and 59 years old, postgraduates and working at operational and tactical levels, positively evaluated almost all of the Post-NGP principles, with weaknesses related to coordination, control and accountability. In relation to contemporary educational management, the need to distinguish equality and equity in the distribution of public resources in deficit schools was also highlighted. The study demonstrated the feasibility of implementing Post-NGP in educational contexts, suggesting future research with Likert scale questionnaires and expansion to other regions. Important contributions were made to improve educational management and strengthen the participation of all interested parties in public decisions.
