Política de descentralização e apoio à gestão das escolas no Amazonas

Abstract

In this thesis, developed in the Programa de Pós-graduação Profissional em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação Pública (PPGP), of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, we studied the roles of the Gerência de Acompanhamento aos Recursos Financeiros (GEARF), the Secretaria Estadual de Educação do Amazonas (SEDUC-AM), in the management of the Programa Dinheiro Direto na Escola (PDDE). We aimed to analyze the function of GEARF to guide, track and monitor schools in the management of PDDE resources, to analyze the benefits of accounts of funds used, as well as to realize the pedagogical support to schools. We observed that the GEARF appoints strongly the employees' efforts to comply with the technical support tasks to the detriment of that educational support to schools. How to improve this support GEARF schools and help to improve the financial and educational management in schools? To answer this question, the study was conducted initially, from the description of the case management of financial resources. This case study indicates routes for a qualitative research, carried out through semi-structured interviews, document analysis and collection, systematization and analysis of quantitative data, and the study of the area of literature. This trajectory allowed the proposition of actions to improve the management of school education. We point out ways to improve the support of GEARF the management of schools, from the proposition of the Plano de Atuação Educacional (PAE), in order to contribute to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of support GEARF‟s support to the Amazonas‟s statual schools. Are expected consequences of the development of this PAE: improvements in the management of financial resources in schools and SEDUC-AM and guidance, or educational support, SEDUC-AM to schools that are linked to it. After traveling this investigative path and build the referred PAE, the completion of this work points out the need to continue the studies on the subject, reaching the management of schools. If within the management of educational system there‟s such lack of pedagogical support to schools, as shown, in schools the efforts are also directed to financial management at the expense of educational management?
