OLIVEIRA, Regina Tereza Cestari de. Changes in the forms of school management in the context of new public management in Brazil and Portugal. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.74, pp.213-232.  Epub Apr 30, 2019. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.62581.

The paper aims to analyze, in the context of redefinition of State’s role, the changes in the forms of school management that have been incorporated in the educational legislation in Brazil and Portugal in the last decades. They are countries with different trajectories regarding the role of the State in guaranteeing the right to education, policies for the education democratization, and the democratic management institutionalization in schools. However, these countries have experienced long periods of authoritarian regimes. The research is supported by the national and international literatures on the subject and in documentary sources, taking as reference the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education (LDB) of 1996 in Brazil and the Basic Education System Law (LBSE) of 1986, in Portugal. The assumption is that these changes in legal norms cause a rupture in the principle of democratic management instituted in the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil of 1988 and in the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic of 1976, with the rise of a school management model focused on effectiveness and efficiency, based on the New Public Management.
