Escola de Governo Germano Santos: reflexões acerca da formação do servidor público estadual em Alagoas

Abstract

This essay is a reflection on the training that state public servants received from the School of Government Germano Santos (EGGS) in the period from 2000 to 2010, a period that corresponds to two terms of government in the state. With this study, we aim to analyze the formation of the state public servants trained by EGGS and thus understand the role that has been played by EGGS in the training of the groups acting in the state of Alagoas, considering for that, the period from 2000 to 2010. The dissertation consists of three chapters. The first chapter discusses the aspects of the Brazilian state and the role of public servants in this process. The second analyzes the constitution of the leading government schools in the world and in Brazil and what is their role in the state. The third chapter is a reflection on the articulation between the action of the EGGS and the reconfiguration of the state in Alagoas, considering political administrations during the period of the study. In order to fulfill its purpose, the research used a qualitative approach and drew on research literature and documents. Were consulted thesis, essays and articles related to the topic, and legal documents (laws, federal and state decrees) and specific magazines on the subject. The documentary research sought to understand the phenomenon from printed documents that provided the necessary information about the practices of the School of Government, as frequency lists, minutes, testimonials, reports, newsletters, etc.. The study indicates that the EGGS offered in the investigated period (2000-2010)376 (three hundred and seventy-six) actions of qualification, reaching 7082 (seven thousand and eighty-two) public servants. Such actions characterize a fragmented continuing education, utilitarian, short and with technical features specific to a particular field of knowledge. Consequently, the education offered by the school to the state public servant prevented the advance of a critical consciousness of the participants in its activities.
