Educação municipal e efetivação do direito à educação

Abstract

The Brazilian advances in the realization of the subjective public right to education have been achieved in a context of increasing municipal participation. But the challenges are still complex. Municipal education -multiple and disparate- has increasing responsibilities in the extension of compulsory education. Thus, this paperpresents an analysis of how six municipalities in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul have been organized to put the right to education into effect, focusing on the administration and legislative dimension. The sources for the analysis are documents, information obtained by Secretaries of Education and members of Municipal Councils of Education through questionnaires, indexes and indicators available on the Internet by specialized organs. The data showed only little contribution to the municipal legislative establishment of local political pro-realization of the right to education, and also signal to management which proved fragmentary, with a low degree of inventiveness and in need of an articulated system of protection.
