O Programa Jovem do Futuro na rede estadual de educação do Piauí: uma análise dos processos de gestão implantados

Abstract

The final paper has as its theme the analysis of the implementation of the Young Future Program (PJF) in the State Education Network of Piauí, focusing on the impacts on school management processes. The central issue arises from the question: in what ways has the adoption of results-oriented management practices, typical of the PJF, interfered with the autonomy of public schools, pedagogical processes, and the guarantee of the right to education? The general objective was to analyze the implementation of the Young Future Program in the State Education Network of Piauí, with a focus on the school management processes established. The specific objectives include: investigating how the PJF was adopted in the state of Piauí; identifying the main documents that support this partnership; and understanding the changes brought about in school management processes following the implementation of the program. The research adopts a qualitative approach, using document analysis and bibliographic review. Based on authors who discuss the privatization of education and result-oriented management models, such as Adrião (2016, 2018, 2022), Borghi (2021), Peroni (2018), Ball and Youdell (2008), Garcia (2006), Shiroma, Garcia and Campos (2005), and Paro (2000). The results reveal that the Youth Program of the Future promotes the introduction of managerial practices in public schools, based on strategic planning, goal monitoring, and a culture of accountability, characteristics of privatizing models and public-private partnerships. Although it presents advancements in administrative organization and a culture of oversight, it also impacts school autonomy, imposing a logic that does not always consider the specificities of territories and school communities. The study concludes that the model contributes to the strengthening of control and standardization practices, reflecting the challenges faced by democratic management in contemporary public education.
