Autonomia nos sistemas municipais de ensino/educação no Vale do Araguaia-Tocantins: o desafio da construção de outras realidades

Abstract

This Dissertation is linked to the State, Society and Educational Practices Research Line of the Graduate Program in Education – Academic Masters – of the Federal University of Tocantins. It addresses the issue of autonomy in municipal education and the institutionalization of municipal teaching/education systems in the Vale do Araguaia-Tocantins Region. It aims to understand correlations between autonomy in municipal education and the process of effective institutionalization of municipal teaching/education systems in the Vale do Araguaia-Tocantins Region, taking as a starting point elements and characteristics that constitute the two phenomena. With a critical perspective, it is based on bibliographic and empirical-documentary information. Autonomy in the field of education implies the legal institution of the system, but it is not restricted to this legislative action. In the region surveyed, comprising fourteen municipalities (Araguacema, Abreulândia, Barrolândia, Caseara, Chapada de Areia, Cristalândia, Divinópolis, Lagoa da Conpressão, Marianópolis, Nova Rosalândia, Monte Santo do Tocantins, Paraíso do Tocantins, Pium and Pugmil), most presents the law of its education system. However, data and information about the Program for Institutionalization and Management of Municipal Teaching/Education Systems (PRISME), linked to the Tocantins CollaborAction Network, show that municipalities have the challenge of building other syntheses and in their realities, for the constitution of autonomy in education.
