O plano de atendimento escolar como ferramenta de gestão da rede estadual de ensino de Minas Gerais

Abstract

This dissertation, developed within the scope of the Professional Master Program in Management and Assessment of Public Education (PPGP) at the Center for Public Policies and Education Assessment of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF), examines the School Attendance Plan, which is prepared every year by the State Department of Education of Minas Gerais (SEE/MG). The School Attendance Plan aims to plan and allocate school slots and resources to meet the demands of state schools. This study identified challenges faced by the SRE in drafting and analyzing the projections of the School Attendance Plan, such as non-compliance with deadlines set by SEE/MG and inaccurate class projections. These issues lead to late adjustments, compromising process efficiency and affecting other integrated systems within SEE/MG. The study highlighted that accuracy and timeliness in preparing the School Attendance Plan are essential to avoid excessive workloads among SEE/MG staff and ensure the proper allocation of resources and school slots. The dissertation also analyzed the causes of these difficulties, including the lack of adequate training for the professionals involved and the complexity of the educational planning process. A qualitative approach was adopted, involving data analysis from reports and questionnaires administered to the SRE. The Educational Action Plan was developed to enhance the School Attendance Plan, proposing improvements in professional training processes for the SRE staff, aiming to refine data management tools and to adopt a more integrated and collaborative approach among the various entities involved in preparing the School Attendance Plan. Thus, this research contributes to the development of more effective educational policies tailored to the realities of public schools in the state.
