Ações participativas na elaboração e no monitoramento do PME de São Caetano do Sul-SP

Abstract

In the present study, developed under the Mestrado Profissional em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação (PPGP) do Centro de Políticas Públicas e Avaliação da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (CAED/UFJF), we analyzed the social participation in the preparation and monitoring process from the Municipal Education Plan of São Caetano do Sul – SP, by considering the participants, beyond the educational managers, the teachers, the students, the school community and the organized civil society. In order to do so, the municipal educational and socioeconomic contexts are analyzed as well as taken as practical necessary actions referenced by democratic management principles, deliberative citizenship and the participatory monitoring, advocated by 1988 Constitution and by the 2014 National Education Plan. It is assumed that the monitoring is the essential stage so that the public politics be assured as participatory and democratizing, considering the analysis of public politics cycles, its impact at the assessment and the redesign of programs and politics such as PME, towards the achievement of targets and strategies, exemplified by the analysis of target 7. It is described the presence of the participation observed at the meeting minutes registers from the Municipal Education Council, as well as the managers and other participants’ reports, and therefore, proposes the follow-up or the introduction of such standards in participatory monitoring plans which involve the community and the teachers, beyond the management, in educational and training actions. The research findings acknowledge the suggestion of training programs and action possibilities that, if constituted, can be extended to the monitoring of other targets or even the planning of other towns.
