<b>MUNICIPAL PLANNING OF HOLISTIC FULL TIME EDUCATION WITH REGARDS TO THE NATIONAL PLAN OF EDUCATION

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate the implementation of a holistic education following the concept of full-time schools in municipal context, since all municipalities are supposed to adjust their educational planning to the Brazilian National Plan of Education. This, consequently, also applies for the implementation of full-time education, provided as mark 6 of the mentioned national law. Accordingly to the national law, each municipality has to present its own Plan of Education. This research evolves around the public school system of the municipality of Lagarto – Sergipe, in which the implementation of holistic full-time education was initiated in 2008, with the accession of the Programa Mais Educação. Ever since, the landscape of holistic full-time education is subject to constant and significant changes. A documental and statistical analysis was realized in order to provide a quantitative investigation of the status quo within the respective municipality concerning the offer of holistic education in full-time schools, and to analyze municipal’s educational plan in accordance with the existing indicators of national educational planning. As main result of the research it can be stated that Lagarto is already fulfilling the quantitative outcomes imposed by the National Educational Plan. However, in regard to the profile of those attending the full-time schools, it was revealed that, up to this point, the municipality does not collect any systematic data which could ensure appropriate monitoring.
