Programa Mais Educa São Léo: instrumento de inclusão social e educação integral

Abstract

This dissertation investigates a Government Program entitled Mais Educa São Léo (PME). This local Public Policy, launched in 2019, socially includes public school students, extending their time at school, in a proposal for Integral Education. Given this, the objective was to characterize and analyze the strategies and mechanisms for accessing and maintaining at School students in situations of social vulnerability. Methodologically, we proceeded through a qualitative strategy, using observation and interview techniques, in one of the schools that hosts the Program. The results demonstrate that, although there are limits in the implementation, children and youth served by the policy need this reception at school and have responded positively to the Program's objectives. In addition, the network will increase the number of schools served in 2024, and the plan is for all elementary schools in the municipality to begin offering full-time education to students eligible for the Mais Educa São Léo’s criteria.
