DOMICIANO, CASSIA. NEW PUBLIC MANAGEMENT AND THE ‘NAVE-MÃE' PROGRAM: COMMON WAYS TO PRIVATIZATION. Educ. rev. [online]. 2020, vol.36, e232177.  Epub 01-Oct-2020. ISSN 1982-6621.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0102-4698232177.

In this article we analyzed the effects of transferring the management of Early Child Education Centers from the public sector to the private sector in Campinas-SP and its effects for the provision of child education public schools. With the financial support coming from the city government, as sanctioned by the Program for Special Assistance to Early Childhood Education (PAEEI) in 2007, we focused on the analysis of public and private enrollments; the transfer of resources to private institutions and the general characteristics of PAEEI. The study covered the period from 2007 to 2014; from the first year of validity of the PAEEI to the last one for which data was available. We analyzed the legislation related to the Program, schools records and municipal reports for monitoring and financing the Program. The results showed that PAEEI materialized tendencies related to the New Public Management, making way for the constitution of a “network” of private providers, which, in addition to competing for public management and resources, became prominent players in the enforcement of Early Childhood Education policies in Campinas, leading to inequalities in the care of young children, subordinating this stage of schooling to the interests of the private sector, a movement we call privatization.
