Connected Education Innovation Program: a new national policy for the use of digital technologies in public schools in Amazon

Abstract

In this article, there is a contextualized analysis, through a critical approach, of Decree No. 9.204, of November 23, 2017, which instituted the Connected Education Innovation Program, the new Ministry of Education policy to replace the National Computer Program in Education, and its intertextuality, based on the legal normative framework initiated with the National Education Plan (2014–2024), considering the theoretical and methodological influences in the formulation of the cycle of national public policies for the use of digital technologies and their consequences on the education system in Amazonas. As a result, it was confirmed that only 4% of public schools in the state of Amazonas managed to adhere to Connected Education Innovation Program, while adherence as a regulatory mechanism of national policy proved to be excluding, and the goal of universal access to the internet in basic education public schools in Brazil until 2019 has not been achieved.
