BERTAGNA, Regiane Helena  and  AMARAL, Maria Clara Ede. The Opacity in the Relations between the Private sector and Public education of Mato Grosso State (Brazil). Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.50, pp.504-519. ISSN 1981-8106.  https://doi.org/10.2015/maio.ago.v25n50.504.

The public-private partnerships in educational area were intensified, in Brazil, from the 90's with the spread of neoliberal precepts. The activities of non-governmental organizations and/or non-profit organizations unleashed in State and local governments a demand by means of fast improving the quality of schools, aiming to lifting the indices in large-scale assessment. This paper aims to analyze the relationship between two private organizations - CESGRANRIO Foundation (CES) and Ayrton Senna Institute (IAS) - and the Government of Mato Grosso State, through the analysis of research participants' speech and their perceptions about access to information on these partnerships, from 2006 to 2008. The subjects were managers, education administrators and teachers who worked in schools in the municipalities of Cuiabá and Caceres, that is, professionals of Secretariat of Public Education of Mato Grosso State - SEDUC/MT. It is possible to note the increasing membership to private models in public education, through organizations that introduce the business management model, which in turn influences the operation of public networks from market logic, and often based on opaque and non-transparent commercial transactions, injuring the federal principle of Public Transparency and the social and school relations.

Keywords : Public-Private Partnerships; Public Transparency; Social Control; Large-Scale Assessment.
