Municipal education in Tocantins: organic institutionalization of systems, networks and schools

Abstract

Discussing the institutionalization of municipal education systems, a concept that is still original and broad for many, requires care in separating the conditions, as well as considering the multiple meanings of the expression system, seen in the field of education, for a more contextualized view. Thus, this text, based on theoretical-documental analysis, aims to analyze the movement of effective institutionalization of a municipal educational system, which implies a set of material and immaterial elements, including management, articulated and interdependent, in an organic relationship and uninterrupted. The theoretical-documental analysis indicates that there is no normative obligation for the Municipality to institutionalize its system in the field of education, as well as that institutionalization is not a guarantee of better education. It is concluded, however, that, in a democratic perspective, this movement can be a possibility of materializing a State project that guarantees education in its broadest scope, not as a concession to the working class; inclusive; democratic; and of social quality for all people. However, one cannot lose sight of the broader social relations with their structural and conjectural factors, in search of such mediations.
