Abstract

This dissertation is linked to the Policy and Management line of the Postgraduate Program in Education, College in Education, Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), in dialogue with the Study and Research Group on Educational Policies – GREPPE, College in Education, State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). Its objective is to map and characterize the private sector institutions that are part of the Municipal Education Council of the city of Salvador, through qualitative bibliographic and documentary research using primary sources. To this end, it presents the following specific objectives: (a) Carry out a bibliographical survey on the bases of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel – CAPES, with a view to identifying academic productions on Municipal Education Councils in Bahia between 2014 and 2023; (b) Identify in the selected official documents the guidelines provided for the participation of private sector organizations in civil society representations in such Municipal Education Council; (c) And characterize the profiles of private organizations in relation to their institutional nature, insertion in the municipality and relationship with the government of the respective municipality. It is based on a review of the literature on the subject in Brazil to support dialogues on the subject and is based on the assumption that the presence of private organizations in state agencies for defining educational policies can deepen processes of privatization of local education management. Based on the analysis of municipal legal documents, the work exposes and classifies the institutions that are represented as civil society in the Municipal Education Council of Salvador in a private, for-profit and non-profit nature and in civil society organizations of public interest (OSCIP ). It identified the prevalence of private for-profit institutions in the university segments and private schools offering early childhood education and private non-profit institutions of public interest in the community schools segment. Furthermore, it questions whether the democratic process and social participation are effective given the links between representations and the executive branch.
