O PROGRAMA ESCOLA ARENINHA COMO POLÍTICA DE EDUCAÇÃO INTEGRAL INTERSECRETARIAL EM FORTALEZA

Abstract

This article examines the Escola Areninha Program as an intersecretarial integral education public policy in the municipality of Fortaleza, analyzing how the program is structured as an intersectoral policy and its contributions to integral education. The study aims to analyze the organization, foundations, and educational proposal of the program as an integrated public policy. The research is qualitative in nature, with an exploratory and descriptive approach, and was conducted through documentary analysis of legislation, institutional guidelines, and official documents related to the program and the municipal integral education policy. The results indicate that the Escola Areninha Program is structured through the articulation of different municipal departments, especially the areas of education and sports, promoting the expansion of educational time and learning spaces. It is concluded that the program represents a relevant integral education strategy at the municipal level, although its effectiveness depends on institutional articulation, monitoring of actions, and integration between the program and schools.
