EDUCAÇÃO INTEGRAL: IMPASSES E PERSPECTIVAS DOS PROGRAMAS MAIS EDUCAÇÃO E CIDADESCOLA- PRESIDENTE PRUDENTE

Abstract

n the current context, government and civil society have been discussing commitments related to children´s and youths´ right to education, expressed in the increasing of the daily length of permanence in public schools, beyond the six hours a day. Thus, the main objective of this research is to bring to the debate the implications and challenges of the implementation of the Integral Education by municipalities. More specifically, it seeks: a) to discuss the concept of integral education through the view of several authors; b) to provide different experiences with integral education on the historical trajectory of Brazilian education; c) to reflect on the importance of integral education to the development of subjects in its various dimensions; d) to analyze the projects for integral education in the programs “Mais Educação”(linked to the Brazilian Ministry of Education) and “Cidadescola” (of the municipality of Presidente Prudente). To develop this study, the methodology chosen was the bibliographical research, with a qualitative approach to the theoretical support of several authors, in addition to mining official documents on the programs analysed. We conclude that, although advances have been observed, it is still necessary to overcome many challenges to achieve the desired quality for an education that provides the human and social emancipation of public school students.
