Expansão da educação infantil no município de Belo Horizonte por meio de parceria público privada

Abstract

Care of Children Education Service in Belo Horizonte began in the 1950s with the opening of thirteen Municipal Schools Early Childhood Education in the city. Until the early 2000s were only two thousand and five hundred children three to six years of age who receive care in the very City Department of Education. In 2004, we opened the first UMEI `s - Municipal Child Education Units in Belo Horizonte. Currently the network itself from the Municipal Education in Belo Horizonte to public attendance at kindergarten has sixty-three UMEI are thirteen Municipal Schools' Early Childhood Education. These units are met more than twenty thousand children aged zero to six years old. But even with this advance in attendance, it was not possible with the Municipal Education meet every demand for places in kindergarten. All sixty-three UMEI `s were built by existing Contract Administration, which brought many problems to the office, such as additives and delays to its implementation. On the other hand, civil society incessantly charges of municipal government care in early childhood education to all children aged zero to six years old. Ace grappling with the challenge of expanding its network of UMEI `s to meet the city's population, the City Department of Education in Belo Horizonte chose to accomplish this expansion through Public Private Partnership. This paper seeks to describe, analyze and evaluate the public-private partnership to expand the network `s UMEI in Belo Horizonte. For this, the trajectory of public education in Belo Horizonte city is described, especially in relation to early childhood education, pointing out the challenges and advances in care, as well as the political decision of the Municipal Education of Belo Horizonte in realizing public-private partnership to expand its own network of UMEI `s. We carried out the description, analysis and financial evaluation of the Public Private Partnership proposed by the City Department of Education. These analyzes showed that the UMEI `s the result of this public-private partnership will cost 23.4% more than if they were not the result of public-private partnership. This cost is justified by the nature of the proposed Public Private Partnership, the reduction in time for delivery of the buildings and the elimination administrative bureaucracy for the Municipal Department of Education. Finally, this paper provides some suggestions for the City Department of Education itself from Belo Horizonte to evaluate this educational policy throughout its implementation.
