Abstract

This research is part of the Policy and Education Management Research Line of the PostGraduate Program in Education of the Federal University of Grande Dourados (UFGD) and derives from the network research called "Monitoring Municipal Education Plans of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul". The analysis of the monitoring and evaluation of Municipal Education Plans in the Cone Sul region of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, which is composed of the following municipalities: Eldorado, Iguatemi, Itaquiraí, Japorã, Juti, Mundo Novo and Naviraí. It is assumed that Law nº 13.005/2014, referring to the National Education Plan, establishes new obligations for public entities about the monitoring of educational policies, in particular, on the monitoring and evaluation of the decennial plans. This same duty is maintained in the state and municipal plans of education, puting as obligation of the municipal entities, the continuous monitoring and periodic evaluations of their plans to be carried out by the Municipal Councils of Education, Forums, Education Secretaries and commissions instituted by the local managers, with the participation of representatives of civil society. In relation to time, the period from 2015 to 2017 was established, that comprise the interval between the approval of the municipal education plans and the completion of the second monitoring report. This research was carried out through documentary research, which analyzes a corpus composed of norms produced by the federal government as the current legislation, guidelines for monitoring the plans emanated by the National Education Council, Ministry of Education and sectors involved in the process, as well as the first and second monitoring and evaluation reports already made and released. At the local level, we analyzed the Municipal Education Plans of the seven municipalities investigated and all the documentation produced by those in charge of the monitoring in each of them, in particular, the referrals made during the public hearings to disseminate the results and direct contact with the members of the monitoring committees. It was found that in the monitoring process, the evaluation of the municipal education plans carried out so far, was centralized in the federal agencies that established the indicators, parameters and instruments for the whole process, through the Technical Support Commission and Guidelines of the Secretariat of Articulation with Teaching Systems. There was a strong role of the National Union of Municipal Education Directors and the National Council of Secretaries of Education, and it was up to the subjects at the municipal level to focus on filling out forms by few individuals and with low social participation.
