GARCIA, Paulo Sérgio  e  MIRANDA, Nonato Assis de. EVALUATION OF MUNICIPAL EDUCATION PLANS: EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN QUESTION. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2021, n.59, e13577.  Epub 07-Fev-2024. ISSN 1983-9278.  https://doi.org/10.5585/eccos.n59.13577.

In this study we carried out an evaluation of the Municipal Education Plans of the Greater ABC municipalities, one of the richest regions in Brazil, to understand how the municipalities planned the improvements for Early Childhood Education in the local context. This is a qualitative research based on documentary analysis. The documents were collected in the departments of education of the seven municipalities, together with the laws that approved them, and analyzed using content analysis. The results showed similarities and repetitions in the texts, from the National Education Plan, and superficiality in most strategies inserted in the municipalities plans, lacking some specificities such as deadline for execution. The analyses revealed two groups of strategies included in the plans: in the first, those aligned with Early Childhood Education improvements, as advances in school infrastructure, and, in the second, others focused on its mercatilization, the promotion of the regulation of the offer of basic education by private initiative, from public-private partnerships. These results can be used in the principal’s education and by the Departments of Education in the implementation of educational policies.
