A relação público-privado na educação básica no estado da Paraíba: tendências de privatização no período 2011 a 2018

Abstract

This work intends to analyze the public-private relationship in basic education in the state of Paraíba, from 2011 to 2018, highlighting the management of state schools by Social Organizations. To understand the context and logic of public and private redesign in the state education system of Paraíba, we focus on a qualitative exploratory, bibliographical and documentary research approach. The results achieved with the research revealed that the public-private partnerships in the state of Paraíba, notably with the co-management with the Social Organizations, represent a privatization strategy of the educational management of the public education system that was materialized through expressive financial transfers to private institutions, and that follow the neoliberal logic of adapting educational management to market conditions. Given the relevance of this theme for education, we believe that this work will contribute to the understanding of the historical relationship between the public and the private.
