O público e o privado em relação

a privatização da educação na rede estadual do Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

The redefinitions of the role of the state, driven by the diagnosis of the crisis of the state, change the boundaries between public and private and materialize public policies that propose processes of privatization of education. As Peroni (2015a) discusses, privatizing does not mean merely changing the ownership of institutions, but involves varied strategies and processes with profound implications for education. In this article, one of the strategies for the privatization of education in the state network of Rio Grande do Sul is analyzed: the Better School Program: Better Society, which encourages individuals and corporations to donate, renovate and expand institutions in the network, disregarding the State. As research materials are the documents (Law, Decree and Ordinance) that clarify the operation of the project, journalistic materials made available on the electronic portal of the Education Department, in addition to the page of the Program, which contains data on its operation, and such data will be confronted with the theoretical-methodological framework that bases the research by means of a bibliographical-documentary research.
