A inserção do Serviço Social na Política de Educação: os desafios para a implementação da Lei 13.935/2019 no Estado de Minas Gerais

Abstract

This research aims to analyze Federal Law n. 13.935/2019 and its implementation in the State of Minas Gerais. To this end, it was found to be essential to understand the relationship between Social Work and Education Policy, with emphasis on the Educational Dimension, present in the profession since its beginnings. Thus, in order to understand the effectiveness of the Law in the demarcated space, Notices from the Municipal Governments and the State Secretariat of Education (SEE) of Minas Gerais were analyzed, highlighting those that provide for the role of Social Workers in Education Policy and cover the period from January 2020 to August 2024. Thus, from the analyses carried out, it was found that the aforementioned Law has been implemented, however, not throughout the state of Minas Gerais, with Social Work being provided with a role that refers to the genesis of the profession, which does not contribute to the construction of a counter-hegemonic education, but which is directed towards the maintenance of the current capitalist order. It is worth highlighting, in this sphere, the fact that there are Selection Processes that bring in their structure, with regard to the attributions inherent to Social Workers, simple directions towards an education that is emancipatory and autonomous, which is, however, fraught with ambiguity, since these processes lean, at the same time and predominantly, towards the field of reproduction of conservative perspectives.
