O programa “Educação: Compromisso de São Paulo” e o “Novo Modelo de Escola de Tempo Integral”

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the values of business logic embodied in the “New Full-Time School Model” are processed, one of the pillars of the “Education: Sao Paulo Commitment” program, adopted by the State Department of Education from Sao Paulo. The theoretical and documentary analyzes show that this program has its origin in private enterprise and is structured by the complex neoliberal value and the toyotist business management models. Such values are incorporated, not only in the school management mechanisms but also in the pedagogical proposals of entrepreneurial education. It is concluded that these conceptions, when incorporated by the public school, subtract from school education its purpose of transmitting the knowledge historically produced by the set of men and women, transforming it into a mere way of adaptation to the labor market.
