NERIS, Eliane Fernandes  e  MOMMA, Adriana Missae. Criança Feliz Program and the constitutional amendment proposal (PEC) for the ceiling of public spending: once there was a right…. Rev. Elet. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.2, pp.659-672.  Epub 01-Jan-2020. ISSN 1982-7199.  https://doi.org/10.14244/198271992554.

This work reflects on the Criança Feliz Program [Happy Child Program], as well as on the approval of a constitutional amendment proposal (PEC 55/2016 for the ceiling of public spending - EC 95 actuality) which foresees the freezing of primary expenditures of the Federal Government and, in this sense, cuts to prominent social policies, with highlights to actions following the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff (Aug 31, 2016), in Brazil. Somehow, both the Happy Child Program and the PEC come to announce to society which societal project is to be implemented for the coming years. A small State for social actions and a strong one for the market, according to Peroni (2008). In the same proportion, it communicates to society that a socially-oriented State burdens the public machine and perverts the centrality of what a strong State is on the global scenario. In relation to the Happy Child proper, it is pointed out as a compensatory and palliative policy, of an assistentialist nature, that goes against the actions that aim to promote citizenship, social rights, as well as the demands of social movements and the academic production of progressive character. This means a setback, given the progress that was foreshadowed with FC 88, Law 9.394/96, providing for children’s education as the first stage of basic education.
