Implantação da Escola Cidadã Integral na cidade de Sapé-PB: uma análise a partir da ECITMOAP (2016-2023)

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the Escola Cidadã Integral (ECI) in the municipality of Sapé, Paraíba state, focusing on the Escola Cidadã Integral Técnica Monsenhor Odilon Alves Pedrosa (ECITMOAP) between 2016 and 2023. The objective is to understand the impacts of this model on the public high school network in the urban area of the city. The methodology is quali-quantitative, based on participant observation, documentary and bibliographic analysis, as well as a survey of school enrollment data using the SABER system. The main results indicate that the transition to the full-time model caused a significant drop in enrollment numbers, overload on the only remaining regular school, classroom overcrowding, and structural precariousness. During the internship, makeshift classrooms were observed, along with a lack of infrastructure for technical courses, absence of specialized educational support, and inadequate working conditions for teachers. It is concluded that the implementation of the ECI in Sapé occurred in an imposing manner, with mediation and infrastructure problems, negatively impacting students, teachers, and the local school dynamics, in contrast to the widely disseminated official image.
