FLACH, SIMONE DE FÁTIMA  and  LIMA, MICHELLE FERNANDES. Democratic (mis)management and (mis)training of school managers by private agents. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.1, e124331.  Epub Sep 25, 2023. ISSN 2447-4193.  https://doi.org/10.21573/vol39n12023.124331.

This text aims to present reflections on the relationship between the principle of democratic management and the training of school managers in municipalities of the state of Paraná, Brazil, that have bowed down to the formative proposals of private agents. To this end, it discusses how understanding the management, school management, and democratic management can interfere with the quality of education and how private agents present themselves to the public power, assume the training of education professionals, and strengthen themselves. The analysis, based on historical and dialectical materialism, demonstrates that private intervention in public education does not occur without explicit intentions of expanded reproduction of capital, under the logic of exploitation of the working class.

Keywords : Democratic management; Privatization processes; Training of school managers; Private agents.
