EXPANSION OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL: POINTS AND COUNTERPOINTS OF THE CURRICULAR PROPOSAL

This paper aims at contributing to the debate on the necessary review of school curriculum due to elementary school expansion. It presents results of a survey on the specificities of the nine-year elementary education implementation process in the three Southern States of Brazil's school systems, considering regulatory aspects on the school curriculum adequacy proposal. On one hand, the text highlights the low expressive aspect of the guidelines issued by the intermediate regulatory agencies (State Council and States' Education Secretariat), and, on the other hand, the assignment to basic education teachers the responsibility of reviewing the new curriculum, unveiling the (in)congruencies in the actions established by the southern States.
