Gestão escolar: desafio em administrar uma escola municipal de educação fundamental em João Pessoa-PB

Abstract

Education is a social right guaranteed by the Federal Constitution of 1988 and its guidelines and bases are established in Law No. 9,394 of December 20, 1996. It provides public school units of basic education with degrees of pedagogical, administrative and financial management autonomy, observing the general rules of public financial law. Basic education is the responsibility of municipalities. The schools of the municipality of João Pessoa have two school directors (one administrative and one pedagogical), to handle educational matters, administer the funds allocated to schools. This technological article aims to identify the problems of administrative management of a municipal school in the city of João Pessoa, as well as to implement practical solutions for the context investigated. The perception of the need to implement some principles and techniques of administration in municipal schools, especially in the administrative area, after living in the internal environment of the institutions, was evident, given the lack of structure (physical and personal) presented and several problems such as communication, process management, interpersonal relationships and stress. The applied methodology to identify the problems found in the daily school life was the participant observation that constitutes the insertion of the researcher in the field under study. The contributions do not end with the presentation of this article. It is suggested that a manual of standard procedures be developed, so that the school's secretariats can standardize their activities, as well as conducting training conditioned to the realities experienced in attending to the user. Another suggestion for improvement would be the adaptation of the SCE to new functionalities, such as the implementation of electronic journals, which would provide teachers with the convenience of recording classes and releasing students' grades and frequency in the system, allowing faster reporting. also the agility in the transfer of students, since the history would be emitted by the own system.
