Educational quality in the Full-Time Education Project in the Stade of Amazonas

Abstract

The theme of full-time education in Brazil goes back to the second half of the 20th century with the creation, by Anisio Teixeira in 1950, of the Centro Educacional Carneiro Ribeiro, in Salvador, Bahia. In the 1980s and 1990s, great experiences came to light through state policies, like the CIEPs - Centros Integrados de Educação Pública (1983, 1994). In the 21st century, the theme came up again through the Mais Educação Program, in 2007, by the Federal Government. In the state of Amazonas, full-time education emerged in 2002, with the creation of a pilot project in two public schools. These pedagogical experiences had, and aim to, raise the quality standard of the public school. Considering this context and analysis of the educational quality standard as a Constitutional right, this article aims to demonstrate what the quality standard consists of in the Full-Time Education Project, in vogue, in the public school system in Amazonas. To achieve this goal, it starts from the following question: What is the concept of educational quality present in the Full-Time Education Project in the state of Amazonas. To answer this question, bibliographic research for scientific production and official documentation was used and the conclusion was reached that the analyzed project adopted a concept of quality that goes in the opposite direction to the integral formation of the subject regarding intellectual dimensions, physical, social, ethical and political, since it adopted, as a formative perspective, the slogan “learn to learn”, coming from the neoliberal perspective.
