Valorização docente: uma reflexão sobre a Meta 17 do Plano Estadual de Educação do Piauí

Abstract

This work is the result of research linked to the Observatory of Educational Policy in Piauí, a partnership between Universidade Federal do Piauí (UFPI), Universidade Estadual do Piauí (UESPI), and Instituto Federal do Piauí (IFPI). The study aims to reflect on teacher appreciation through a comparative analysis of The National Education Plan (PNE)’s Goal 17 and the State Education Plan (PEE) of Piauí. Using a qualitative approach (Minayo, 2013), the research is documentary (Lakatos; Marconi, 2001) and it involved data collection on the online platform Portal da Cidadania do Tribunal de Contas do Piauí (TCE/PI). The source consisted of documents related to Piauí’s educational legislation cataloged from 1996 to 2023. The theoretical framework was based on Freire (1979), Saviani (1989), LDB 9394/96, among others. The comparative analysis of the plans revealed that, despite some progress, the salary equalization of teachers with other professionals of the same educational level, scheduled for 2020, has not been achieved yet, highlighting the need for more effective actions to achieve teacher appreciation.
