The complementary bill that creates the National Education System is being analyzed by the Chamber of Deputies. Last week, the text was approved unanimously, with 74 votes, in the Senate.
In an interview with CNN Rádio, on CNN Educação, the educational policy specialist and general coordinator of the Movimento Colabora Educação, Fernanda Castro Marques, said that the PL “promotes effective collaboration” between the Union, states and municipalities. “Brazil is extensive, it has different educational realities. It is one of the only countries, for example, that has a state and municipal education network,” she said.
According to her, “the idea is to bring spaces for agreement, today we do not have the Union, states and municipalities sitting down to dialogue educational policies.”
“The system institutes spaces that will make joint decisions possible, the SUS (Unified Health System) already works that way, in the pandemic we saw strong action from this space to decide health protocols, vaccination, in education we don’t have, and this brings complications,” he added.
In the evaluation of Fernanda Castro, the central point is the joint action of the spheres: “the system will bring together space and cooperation mechanisms for issues such as school transport, assessment, curriculum, it will facilitate the educational elements that the student needs to receive with quality are received by both the state and municipal networks.”
At the same time, the expert argues that, for the National Education System to work, “it will need political will” from the federal government, governors and mayors. “They need to understand the importance of being willing to have a new dialogue, that education is not done alone, it must have a systemic logic, understand that there is a collective”, she reinforced.
