SILVA, Marcília de Sousa  and  ISAYAMA, Hélder Ferreira. Education and leisure: analyzing the Integrated School Program in Belo Horizonte. Práxis Educativa [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.1, pp.55-78. ISSN 1809-4309.  https://doi.org/10.5212/PraxEduc.v.10i1.0003.

This article aims to analyze the concepts of leisure and education that permeate the documents in the Integrated School Program in Belo Horizonte. The analysis was based on the Policy cycle approach and emphasized the contexts of influence and the policy text production. Thus, the formation of the political agenda, the Political Pedagogical Project Program and the Strategic Plan 2010-2030 BH were investigated. The policy context is not organized in a linear fashion; it is a process of groups of interest interaction. With the discourse of coping with school failure, revealed by the students' yield and flow evaluation indices (approval, repetition and dropout), the Integrated School education documents announce education and leisure as forms of production, strengthening links between public and private. The right to education is restricted to children's and youth's access and permanence in school without creating a perspective of universalization and quality. The documents address the leisure with a simplistic view of construction and maintenance of equipment and the idea of activity.

Keywords : Education; Leisure; Integrated School.
