Plano Decenal Municipal de Educação: uma análise sobre a participação da sociedade civil no processo de elaboração

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze the participation of civil society in the process of developing the Ten Year Plan Municipal Education of Juiz de Fora, in order to meet the national politics for education and service to the aspirations of the council. Some issues exist in this research: Has the plan been built only in response to legislation established nationally? Was there the view of respecting the diversity and local concerns? What social sectors did participate in the process? How did they get into this process? These considerations motivated the present study, to realize the importance of involving society in a process of this nature, especially the sectors directly involved: managers, professionals in education, parents, community representatives. The main theoretical contributions come from scholars such as Saviani, Teixeira, Vieira, Mendes, Cury, Neves, among others. To do the work, the choice was a qualitative methodologic research, the analysis of PDME, the texts of guiding their development, the material produced during the process such as minutes, letters and legislation on the subject. Another strategy that enabled this research was the semi structured interview with members of the committee drafting the plan. It is believed that through the analysis of documents and interviews you can understand how those politics were built within the framework of the educational council, providing subsidies for such other proceedings and to assist in building democratic participative and education.
