FULL-TIME EDUCATION COMMITTEES: MO(VE)MENTS FROM/IN THE DOCUMENTS EDITED BY THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

ABSTRACT:

The purpose of this article is to analyze the mo(ve)ments associated with the creation and implementation of the Full-Time Education Committees, established from Mais Educação Program. Based on theoretical references that discuss the constitution of participation spaces and social control of public policies and based on document analysis, the article examines the texts edited by the federal government, from 2007 to 2016, which dealt with these committees. Among its results, it reveals that the creation of the Integral Education Committees sought to contribute both to the accomplishment of actions related to Mais Educação and to the construction and/or consolidation of local integral and full-time education policies, in the perspective that these instances were constituted as spaces of pedagogical exercise for living and strengthening democracy. However, although the work indicates processes of broadening the scope of these committees in the development of full-time education policies, it reveals that such advances were not enough to establish their institutionalization in local terms, based on the federal order.
