FREITAS, Dirce Nei Teixeira de. Expansão do ensino médio no Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul no período de 1999 a 2009. R. Bras. Est. Pedag. [online]. 2010, vol.91, n.228, pp.291-314. ISSN 2176-6681.

This article presents the results of a quantitative and qualitative research with a critical descriptive and analytical focus. The work addresses the expansion and the challenges faced by the state high school system of Mato Grosso do Sul in the last decade, as well as the government policies aiming at improving the quality of upper secondary education. It reveals that the state has chosen to expand the offer of this modality by means of the Education of Yong People and Adults (EJA) program, creating mechanisms to stimulate a migration from high school night course enrollments to EJA program, introducing new diverse and flexible arrangements, and making curricular changes. The analysis of this scenario points out challenges and suggests an alternative route for improving the quality of upper secondary education in the state.
