Centro colaborador de apoio ao monitoramento e à gestão de programas educacionais - CECAMPE SUDESTE: a formação de gestores escolares para o fortalecimento da política PDDE

Abstract

This study, developed within the Research Line State, Policies and Management of Education of the Graduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Uberlândia, investigates the Southeast Regional Collaborative Center for Support, Monitoring and Management of Educational Programs (CECAMPE). This center aims to collaborate with the National Fund for the Development of Education (FNDE) by providing support and monitoring to regional education managers, particularly in relation to the management of financial resources from the “Programa Dinheiro Direto na Escola” (PDDE). Created in 1995, the PDDE is a supplementary funding program administered by the FNDE, which allocates financial resources directly to executing units (UEx) of public basic education institutions, special education schools, and the Open University of Brazil. Its purpose is to support pedagogical improvements and infrastructure needs, while strengthening the autonomy of schools in managing their financial resources. Based on the understanding of this institutional partnership, the study is guided by the following research problem: what are the roles and actions of CECAMPE Southeast in guiding school managers in the execution of PDDE resources? Accordingly, the general objective is to analyze the actions of CECAMPE Southeast in supporting school managers in the management of PDDE funds. The research adopts a mixed-methods (quantitative and qualitative) approach, using data mapping, graphs, and tables to support the analysis and discussion of results. It is characterized as exploratory and descriptive, combining bibliographic review and documentary research. The dissertation is structured into four sections. First, a literature review was conducted using databases such as BDTD, CAPES Theses and Dissertations Catalog, and the UFU repository, aiming to deepen the theoretical framework and identify existing studies related to the research theme. Through documentary research, it was possible to contextualize the historical and political trajectory of the PDDE over its 30 years of existence, as well as to reconstruct the institutional history of CECAMPE Southeast at UFU. Additionally, data collected from forms completed during the “Caminhos Compartilhantes” training sessions, offered in Minas Gerais during the first year of the 2023–2027 cycle, were analyzed based on participants’ responses. The findings indicate that the training activities and actions developed by CECAMPE Southeast throughout this partnership have supported a wide range of education managers in the region, contributing to a more efficient and effective execution of PDDE resources. Furthermore, the results reveal high levels of satisfaction among participants, who positively evaluate the training and recommend it to their peers, reinforcing the quality and relevance of the work carried out in strengthening the PDDE policy
