O plano de ações articuladas como instrumento para colaboração entre governo federal e munícipios: limites e possibilidades para a melhoria da educação básica

Abstract

This research was carried out inside of Specialization in Educational Management. With it we seek to contribute to the o the understanding of the incidence of Public Policies in Education Management concerning the educational process in the development of School Public Education, with special attention to the Plan of Joint Actions (PJA) and their relations with the management of the Network School Municipal Public. For this, we analyzed the participation of eleven cities of Santa Maria region micro, belonging to the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, through study of the documents that the PJA of these city. With this analysis, it was possible to list a set of factors that influence the participation municipal secretariats of education in the PJA, which were grouped into two blocks. The first block concerns the factors that shape the possibilities for use in the PJA as a tool for operational collaboration between the federal government and cities. The second block refers to factors that finish for limiting the use of PJA, as a tool for the operationalization of this collaboration. A representative example of the factor classified in the first block is the formal accountability of educational managers at the macro level, in the person of the Minister of Education and at the micro level, in the person of the Municipal Secretary of Education, monitoring, enforcement and compliance actions be developed in each of these levels. In the second block, we can mention the evaluation of PJA binding only to the performance of students of public IDEB in these municipalities, which makes the responsibility for the improvement of education, ultimately fall on the schools and on school stakeholders In particular, teachers. Finally, analysis of the PJA in these cities, shows that the recommended actions are proposed not as a 'twoway street', a prerequisite for a system of collaboration, but as a 'one-way street', as there is little room for new proposals for action on the part of municipalities, or for actions that signal and direct the cooperation of the cities to the federal government. So this policy the cities seem to be reduced to mere "recipients / beneficiaries of the actions" of the federal government, which consequently can lead to a standardization of management actions and Network School Municipal Public.
