Abstract

The present master's dissertation is inserted in the History, Policies and Education Research Line of the Graduate Program in Education of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul. The object of study of this research was the educational policy of continuing education of teachers, implemented according to the National Pact for Literacy at the Right Age (PNAIC). It is a program proposed by the Union, carried out in partnership with federated entities with the goal that all children, at the end of the 3rd year of elementary school, should be literate until the age of eight. Thus, the objective of the research was to analyze the PNAIC, as a longterm educational policy, highlighting its composition, emphasizing the axis of continuing education of literacy teachers, as well as its implementation and implementation in the municipality of Aquidauana-MS, in both first effective years, 2013 and 2014, with a view to indicating changes in its structure in the years 2017 and 2018. The methodological procedures of the research initially consisted of surveying the production regarding the research object. Subsequently, the documentary study was carried out based on the collection and analysis of the national legal norms that regulated the program and the documents present at the Municipal Department of Education. It was found that the PNAIC as a policy of continuing education for teachers obtained great support at national level and managed to include in its structure elements that can be used to improve the next programs, such as the distribution of teaching materials in school institutions, scholarships to participants the inclusion of the coordinator as part of the teaching-learning process. It was also found that although the PNAIC stood out among the other programs, the history of discontinuity and lack of followup at the end of the meetings remained, since during its period of validity, numerous structural changes were revealed, including the planned extension decision initially for two years. The municipality of Aquidauana-MS followed the guidelines for continued training and the initial hesitation regarding its stability was achieved through administrative exchanges, minimizing the investments made and withdrawing the scholarships previously granted to teachers and through the presentation of the work developed during the training. Continued means the end of the program, as well as those that preceded them without the post-end follow-up.
