O programa Escola Integrada e o Plano Nacional de Educação: os desafios da Política Pública de Educação Integral de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

This article aims to present the public policy of integral education of the Belo Horizonte City Hall (PBH) based on the analysis of the implementation of the Integrated School Program (PEI). For that, we considered the legal aspects and the main publications on the subject. The objective of this study is to present the main characteristics of the proposal implemented in the municipality and to relate the development of the IEP in compliance with the goal 6 proposed by the National Education Plan (PNE / 2014-2024). In addition, it intends to present some of the main challenges present in the policy and that were raised by the main studies analyzed on the subject. To develop the study, a qualitative research was carried out, a case study about the Belo Horizonte experience. The methods used were the bibliographic review, the analysis of documents and queries to the management systems available in the PBH intranet. Among the main authors consulted are studies by Resende (2012), Silva (2013), Braga (2015) and also by Andrade (2016). The results of this study showed that in relation to goal 6 of PNE the experience of Belo Horizonte already exceeds the goals proposed for the year 2024. The Belo Horizonte Municipal Education Network offers full-time attendance in all 177 schools and attends approximately 46.35% of the students enrolled in this type of education. The main challenges to be overcome include the lack of adequate infrastructure, the low qualification of the professionals who work in the program, the poor working conditions of these professionals, the absence of a clear pedagogical proposal regarding the workshops developed, absence of dialogue of the proposal with the political pedagogical project of the schools and also the difficulty of integration between the professionals of the IEP with the other teachers of the regular education.
