MOTA, Maria Océlia. Implementation of educational public policies from the perspective of bureaucratic agents. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.72, pp.684-709. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v29i72.5656.

The present study introduces new possibilities, for the analysis of educational policy implementation, into the field of education. It seeks to understand the implementation process of the Prêmio Escola Nota Dez (PENDez) (Award Winning School) in the state of Ceará. This is done from the point of view of implementing agents, in four pairs of partner schools in the Cariri (CE) region. The theoretical-methodological choices, from the perspective of the Street Level Bureaucracy and the Mid-Level Bureaucracy, opened a range of research possibilities along with the implementing agents and their interaction in the policy context. This study shows that the implementing agents make adaptations to the curriculum in the evaluation and the pedagogic work in order to earn the award. In addition, these interventions affect the interpretation and implementation of the PENDez. Therefore, the policy becomes adapted to the possibilities and constraints imposed by the implementing agencies.
