POSSATO, Beatris Cristina. A system to protect themselves from the school. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2016, vol.54, n.40, pp.153-177. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.5935/1981-1802.20160007.

This paper aims at understanding the implementation of the "Protecting School System", an educational public policy of the State of São Paulo and understand their meanings, their conceptions, as well as its dynamics and the complexity of these processes. This study establishes its analysis on interviews, and also on its theoretical perspective based on studies of Michel Foucault. The theoretical perspective that bounds this study instigates a discussion about the referred public policy it is grounded in a systemic approach and administrative vision of education that makes use of biopower mechanisms to step in. At the same time, this policy also works as a disciplinary and state regulatory apparatus that tries not only to reach individuals, but also standardize a number of schools as a "system".

Keywords : School protecting system; Public policy; Biopower.
