Análise da formulação da política pública de ensino integral no Estado do Espírito Santo : Programa Escola Viva

Abstract

The purpose of this study to describe the process of formulating the public policy for the implementation of integral education, translated into the Escola Viva program, through the Agenda Setting and the process of defining alternatives. The theoretical approach used was the conceptualization of public policy from the public policy stages, as well as the Multiple Stream Model developed by Kingdon (1995) and of Advocacy Coalition Framework of Sabatier and Jenkins-Smith (1993). In order to reach the proposed goal, the research developed was of a qualitative nature, adopted the strategy of case study and used as research instruments, exploratory interviews, documentary analysis and semistructured interviews. The results point to the formation of a coalition formed by actors in Espírito Santo defending their convictions about the public policy and acting in favor of the proposed change. The change of the Executive Power and important legal milestones in the national agenda allowed a window of opportunity to be opened and that the entrepreneurs of the policy acted around the implementation of the integral education in the middle school. This study therefore contributes to a better understanding of the stage of public policy formulation, particularly in the area of education.
