Collaborative management in the context of prison education: limits and possibilities of training processes. Acta Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.43, e55830.  Epub Nov 29, 2021.

The text aimed to understand the limits and the training possibilities enhanced by democratic management in the context of prison education. With a qualitative approach, based on the multiple case study method, the investigation included as a data collection technique: document analysis and interviews with two school administrators from a Youth and Adult Education Center (CEJA) and three administrative managers from prison units that offer Youth and Adult Education (EJA) classes in the municipalities of Capistrano, Ocara and Pacoti, in the Baturité Massif-CE. The interviews revealed the search for a collaborative work between the CEJA school management and the administrative management of prison units in actions aimed at education in the prison context, but also some obstacles, such as the lack of structural and human resources. The data revealed the potential of democratic management, triggering the collaboration between those involved with the pedagogical work in order to enable a quality education for the Person Deprived of Liberty (PDL), understanding them as a human being capable of learning, reinventing themself and rewriting a new life story, with socio-professional reintegration. It is concluded that the concept of democratic management articulated to the principles of collaboration between school management and administrative management favors the development of a re-socializing formation. The survey also showed a lack of public policies that effectively ensure the provision of education in prison in order to guarantee prison well-being and social reintegration.

Keywords : citizen school management; prison education; youth and adult education.
