TAPOROSKY, Barbara Cristina Hanauer  y  SILVEIRA, Adriana Aparecida Dragone. The institutional action of the Prosecution Office to advance the quality of basic education. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2024, vol.40, e88001.  Epub 15-Abr-2024. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1984-0411.88001.

The present article aims to identify how the Public Prosecutor’s Office operates in the field of basic education quality, considering it as an institution that has been consolidating itself as a relevant actor in enforcing the right to education. To achieve this goal, the content of 574 administrative proceedings collected from the transparency portals of the Public Prosecutor’s Office in 9 states was analyzed. These states have objectives related to the promotion of basic education quality in their strategic plans: Alagoas, Amapá, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Maranhão, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte, Rio Grande do Sul, and Rondônia. The proceedings were examined in 13 themes, revealing a central focus on discussions around objective conditions of quality, such as infrastructure, student-to-teacher ratio, adherence to activity hours and age cutoff, the existence of Specialized Educational Assistance (SEA), and Fire Prevention and Protection Plan (PCCI), among others. It is concluded that the institution prioritizes objective and intra-school issues in its actions, with little emphasis on elements such as social participation and specialized technical knowledge in the field of education, assuming a normative-dogmatic analysis of basic education quality.
