A nova gestão pública nas políticas de educação em Pernambuco: uma análise dos indicadores educacionais de 2007 a 2018

Abstract

This paper analyzes some results of the implementation of the New Public Management (NGP) in basic education in the state of Pernambuco in the period 2007-2018. For this, we chose to carry out an analysis that adopted, especially, quantitative data collection and analysis techniques. The procedures were divided into two stages, the first was a literature review and the second was the analysis of secondary data. We built a timeline containing the main institutional initiatives aligned with NGP, from the AlepeLegis portal, to assess the adhesion of public managers to this type of management. In addition, we also built and analyzed the indicators of the state system of basic education from the School Census Synopsis, made available by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (INEP) to identify the influence of management on the indicators. Thus, we realize that the institutional framework, created by a technical elite of state managers aligned with the NGP, influenced the quantitative improvement of educational indicators. However, when we deepened the analysis of indicators referring to teachers, we realized that, contrary to previous results, the impact of NGP on teacher indexes, when compared to Brazilian numbers, did not show positive results.
