Abstract

This Master's Dissertation aims to analyze the participation of the Municipal Education Forum (FME) of Dourados-MS in the Municipal Commission for Monitoring and Evaluation (CMMA) of the Municipal Education Plan of Dourados-MS (PME/Dourados-MS, 2015- 2024. It is linked to the Education Policy and Management Research Line, of the Graduate Program in Education (PPGEdu), of the Faculty of Education (FAED), of the Federal University of Grande Dourados (UFGD). from 2017 to 2021, which, in this period, through Decree No. 551, there was the creation of the Municipal Education Forum (FME) of Dourados-MS in 2017, with the special task of monitoring the PME. The methodology is a qualitative approach , based on documentary research, bibliographical research and field research, in the latter through a semi-structured interview that was carried out with 4 subjects, namely: from the FME - 1 (one) representative of the Union of Workers in Education of the Municipality (Simted ); and from the CMMA: 1 (one) representative of the Union 23 of Workers in Education of the Municipality (Simted), 1 (one) Coordinator of the CMMA and 1 (one) executive secretary of the CMMA. It was possible to verify that "participation", revealed to be a term with meanings in educational policy, whose conceptions arising from authors who study and deepen the theme demonstrate that it is through participation that one advances in the struggle for a more just and humane society, for an education with socially referenced quality, one that is made for the human being and not for the market, for capital. Participation that needs to go beyond taking part or having a part in something, or, even, doing and being part of something or participating just for survival or even spontaneously that makes the relationship between men or something that obliges to fulfill determined positions and whose objectives are individual and almost never collective, which is only granted as a requirement of the capitalist system. And in these terms, which stands out based on the theoretical writings of this Dissertation and, mainly, on the speeches of the interviewed participants, that the FME is present and participates, but several difficulties that need to be overcome, such as: the lack of more position in the meetings , the lack of more referrals and actions involving society, especially education, with events to discuss the PME's goals and strategies, as well as translating the results systematized in the PME's Monitoring and Evaluation Reports into the main agenda. The FME is a legitimate space for participation and needs to live up to what it represents in society and education. However, the participation of the FME in the CMMA in the search for its rights still does not show advances towards a greater objective such as the conquest of spaces and class struggle, which is based on democracy that meets the needs of society.
