THE FEDERAL COORDINATION OF MEC UNDER THE PAR: SIGNS OF ARRANGEMENTS AND DECISION RULES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF EDUCATION

ABSTRACT: The article seeks to understand the dynamics of power sharing in the interdependence between federated entities, with a focus on the analysis of the role of MEC as coordinator of the educational policy related to the Articulated Actions Plan (PAR). The research is qualitative in nature, based on documentary analysis and content analysis of semi-structured interviews, organized through thematic categories, with the elaboration of a semantic network. It is discussed that MEC acts to institute the culture of planning, provide a unified service and induce demands. On the other hand, the existence of fragmentation of actions and deficiencies in the response to Municipalities is highlighted. It is concluded that MEC should work to raise the level of procedural knowledge of the Municipalities and resolve the fragilities of its own management processes.
