Planejamento e gestão escolar do município de Nova Cruz/RN na pandemia da Covid-19

Abstract

The pandemic of covid-19 forced practically the entire world to stop, avoid crowds, and reinvent itself. In education it was no different, the classroom activities were suddenly stopped to contribute to a more effective control of the virus, and thus be able to resume classroom activities as soon as possible. From then on, the routine of distance learning classes was started, which later became a hybrid format. In view of this, the present research aims to analyze the processes conducted for the remote classes and the return of the presential classes, as well as to investigate the orientations that were transmitted by the Secretary of Education to the schools in the city and their execution. To this end, the work was developed through bibliographic research and field research with the municipal education secretary of Nova Cruz/RN, where several public servants contributed by answering according to the sectors they occupy in the current administration. Thus, the results show the impacts of distance education on education in general, and by relating 2020 and 2021, it is possible to show that there were significant increases in the number of dropouts and failures, with emphasis on the 6th grade, where the results were more pronounced. We could also suggest public policies aimed at mitigating the issues related to school evasion and failure, so that the management would consider creating greater cultural and sports incentives such as music lessons, instruments, and field classes, for example.
