Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.3, pp.1153-1175.  Epub 20-Ene-2021. ISSN 2447-4193.  https://doi.org/10.21573/vol36n32020.101037.

This article discusses the mechanisms of selection adopted by principals of municipal schools in order to receive and allocate students in classes and which may, eventually, accentuate differences and inequalities in the schooling process. A group dynamic was carried out with 18 school principals and 5 advisors from the Municipal Education Secretariat of a municipality in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo. Data indicate that the practices that prevailed in the municipal network are: enrollment due to proximity to the school physical network; teacher self-assessments; and teaching preferences.

Palabras clave : educational policy; school principals; selection of students; class composition.
