Teaching Training Policies: Public-Private Partnerships in the Education System of São Paulo State

Abstract

This article is part of a Post-doctoral Internship research in the Program Education/Curriculum from Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo that studies public-private partnerships in the training of teachers from the São Paulo state network. It aims to analyze which are the formation partnerships established between the Coordination of the School for Formation and Improvement of Teachers - Paulo Renato Costa Souza (EFAPE) and private institutions in the years 2018 and 2019. It uses the qualitative approach employing bibliographic research and documentary analysis. The theoretical body is based on Hernandez, Laval, Freire and Feldmann. The results show an increasing number of partnerships between the public network and private institutions. The neoliberal rationality that permeates the field of Education and, more specifically, of Teacher Education is confirmed, demanding, from the public authorities, the creation of collaborative projects that include the guarantee of emancipatory and critical formative principles, strengthening the autonomy of the public school system.
