LIMA, CARMEN LUCIA DE SOUSA and SILVA, MARCELO SOARES PEREIRA DA. EXTERNAL EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN THE CITY OF TERESINA, PIAUÍ. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.32, e08321. Epub Feb 25, 2022. ISSN 1984-932X. https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v32.8321.
The current article aims to analyze the relationship between the children’s education policy management in the county of Teresina, Piauí, and the currently meritocratic logic present in this policy. The study contemplated the execution of a bibliographical and documental research and, in addition to that, it turned to the use of a semistructured interview in order to collect complementary data on the investigated reality. With the comprehension that the local reality is articulated with, and demands a vision of the whole, it’s also discussed the management models sustained by the managerial perspective, aspects that oriented the State reform. This reform has been occuring at both national and local levels, such as the case of the investigated county. This allows the reproduction, in the children’s education management in Teresina, of the management models oriented by the managerial perspective, accountability, and the New Public Management.
