A garantia do direito à educação de qualidade: mapeamento da oferta educacional na rede pública de ensino do estado do Piauí

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the educational offer in the public school system of the state of Piauí, with emphasis on enrollment and flow correction rates, especially regarding school dropout. The research is based on the theoretical perspective that discusses the privatization processes in public education, based on authors such as Adrião (2018), Evangelista et al. (2022) and Sousa and Moura (2023), who point to the growing insertion of commodified practices in the Brazilian educational system. The methodology adopted is qualitative-quantitative, with a documentary survey and analysis of secondary data extracted from the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (INEP) and the Children's Observatory, covering the period from 2007 to 2023. The results reveal that, despite advances in reducing dropout rates and increasing pass rates, especially in the state and municipal networks, the trend of decrease in the number of enrollments persists, especially in elementary and secondary education. In addition, the growing influence of public-private partnerships in the management and provision of education is noted, which directly impacts the realization of the right to public, free and quality education. The study concludes that, although there have been advances in correcting the flow, there are still significant challenges in expanding access and permanence of students in school, which requires more robust, equitable public policies free from privatist logics
