Plano municipal de educação: o caso do município de Santana/AP (2014-2024)

Abstract

This study intends to analyze the management concept that guides the process of preparing the Municipal Education Plan for the Municipalities of Santana and Mazagão/AP, with a time frame of 2014-2024. It analyzes the management concept present in the construction of SMEs, from the perspective of the counter-reform of the State and education from the 90s onwards, when a process of change in the administrative structure began, under the supervision of multilateral capital organizations which, as far as with respect to education, it proposes managerial changes in both the organization and management inspired and based on private sector management practices. Based on the theoretical findings of several authors, the study shows, in a preliminary way, that the managerial management model, by appropriating democratic management instruments, distorts their meaning and puts the construction of democracy at risk in the sense of preventing the possibility of building a democratic educational project and a society based on participatory democratic principles considering that democratic management is a management model that promotes legitimate and effective social participation, autonomy and decentralization based on the basic principles of democracy. From this perspective, this study constitutes documentary analysis research under a qualitative approach supported by the theoretical-methodological contribution of Historical-Dialectical Materialism that allows an analysis of the conception of managerial management to the detriment of the democratic management model, considering the categories decentralization, autonomy and participation. To this end, the research is documentary in which documents that constitute the construction of SMEs in rural municipalities are analyzed, from the perspective of discourse analysis. The study already points to the need for public managers to plan and implement public educational policies committed to the principles of participatory democratic management and that consider the legitimate demands of society.
