Avanços e desafios da educação infantil o caso do município de Glória, no sertão baiano

Abstract

This monographic work aims to investigate the advances and challenges of public policies aimed at Early Childhood Education in the municipality of Glória, in the Sertão Baiano, with a focus on training and recruiting professionals to work in the first stage of education. To this end, we use bibliographic research, documentary research and case study as methodology. We used data collection instruments such as interviews and questionnaires with educational managers in the city. Throughout the work, we demonstrated that childhood has undergone several conceptions since the Middle Ages, leaving a process of denial and disciplining until reaching the recognition of social law, thus enabling changes in educational institutions. Based on this reflection on the importance of social historical construction in relation to the concept of childhood, we investigated teacher training and professional recruitment in the Glória municipal school system, showing that the municipality managed to advance in relation to the expansion of places in daycare centers and the decentralization of multiseries classes. Finally, we conclude that the municipality presents important advances in guaranteeing the right to Early Childhood Education, although challenges that still require special attention for na effective guarantee of education as a right for all still persist.
