<b>EXPANSION OF SCHOOL HOURS AND SCHOOL SPACE: PROPOSAL OF THE STATE OF SÃO PAULO(2012)

Abstract

The original content of this article integrates a doctorate thesis section defended in 2016 that analyzes the recent politics of extension in the school hours and space in Brazil, focusing the Open School Program (PEA)and the More Education Program (PME), their concepts and objectives turned to human development, as well as the political-pedagogical premises that these programs resorted to reach their objectives. In this regard, we also aim to analyze the similarities and divergences of these Programs with contemporary initiatives of extension of the school time and space in Municipal and State school networks. This work brings up the politics analysis result of the extension of the school hours and space in the State of São Paulo instituted by Full-time Teaching Program Guidelines: Full-time School (ETI) (São Paulo, 2012), comparing its political-pedagogical premises with the Delors Report (1998) and submitting them to the critics of authors affiliated to historic materialism. After the research analysis, we considered that in the São Paulo State, the school time and space expansion initiative is in tune with the Delors Report (1998), regarding to its objectives and guiding principles. It was possible to verify the organic articulation of the Secretariat of Education with non-profit organizations, focusing the pedagogical activity on the organic construction of the student’s ‘protagonism’ through the “life project”.
