“OVERNOMINATION” OF TEACHERS AT THE PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM OF THE STATE OF MINAS GERAIS (REDE ESTADUAL DE ENSINO DE MINAS GERAIS)

ABSTRACT This article presents a part of the results of a research with the teachers from the public education system in the state of Minas Gerais. Based on the exploration of the database of Minas Gerais’ State Education Department, the research revealed how many teachers have permanent employment contracts and how many of them have temporary contracts. Moreover, it shows how these numbers oscillated between 2009 and 2014. This might seem to be simple information, but it is rather difficult to be accessed, what makes it valuable. Besides surprising, the picture of “overnomination”, revealed by this study, is a major problem in the education management of Minas Gerais. It affects the quality of public education and claims for a rearrangement by the state in this field.
