Valorização dos funcionários de escola: trabalhadores de apoio técnico-operacional na rede de educação básica estadual na cidade de Dourados-MS

Abstract

This Master's Dissertation in Education is linked to the Graduate Program in Education (PPGEdu) of the Faculty of Education at the Federal University of Grande Dourados (FAED/UFGD). It proposes to analyze the appreciation of education professionals who work in basic education schools in the administrative sector, exercising their functions in the secretariat, concierge, kitchen, student inspection, cleaning, librarian technician and watchman. Thus, it aims to understand the constituent elements of the appreciation of education professionals, Technical Operational Support employees, of the State Education Network of the municipality of Dourados-MS. It has a temporal delimitation between the years 1996 to 2022, creation of the Fund for the Maintenance and Development of Elementary Education and the Enhancement of Teaching (FUNDEF). By specifying the objectives, we aim to: a) Conceptualize the appreciation of Technical-Operational Support employees; b) Characterize the locus of the research and its legal framework, in the context of the State schools of Dourados-MS, considering the staff of effective and outsourced employees; c) Analyze the professional valuation in the perception of these school employees. As a foundation, the research has a theoretical framework of the policy cycle, and is anchored in a qualitative approach. The semi-structured questionnaire and the interview were used as methodological procedures for data collection. Through these analyses, we evidenced that the public servants were valued to a certain extent, since the majority had already completed the vocational technical course and were remunerated with 10% of their earnings. On the other hand, they have a low socioeconomic level, since most have the Professional Technical Training of the Profuncionário and concluded higher education, some continued with postgraduate studies in specialization and Masters, both in the area of education, but did not obtain decent remuneration with their formations. In view of this, it was evidenced that these servers do not have Job, Career and Compensation Plans (PCCR). Only the servants of the Magisterium, according to Law nº 11.738, of July 16, 2008, achieved a Wage Floor, until then there is no PCCR for administrative professionals of state schools in MS. A professional devaluation was also evidenced, because after years of searching for pedagogical training and recognition, the number of outsourced employees who are in the public sectors of schools without having a specific training is growing, working together with the servants considered legally as also educators so that develop their work with the teachers, but this is not being put into practice. This outsourced service in schools, gain strength in public policies, have different contracts and different workloads, bringing divergences in the divisions of work as well as occupying positions that should be in new public tenders. It was highlighted that there is another devaluation because the schools do not have enough servers for the demand for work, as well as the excess of work combined with outsourced employees without specific training, which can lead to risks to the health of workers in general. The on-screen research shows us that Technical-Operational Support education professionals, even if pedagogically qualified, do not feel valued, it is necessary to seek public policies that fully value them through their training and educational practices.
