SCHOOL DEMOCRATIC MANAGEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NEW PUBLIC MANAGEMENT (NPM): A FOCUS ON THE PNE (2014-2024)

This article discusses the implementation of democratic management as a guiding principle to be observed in public policies for Basic Education in public education institutions, in the context of a new management model called "New Public Management" (NPM, NGP in the Portuguese acronym) and "managerialism". This work aimed to compare the normative acts that regulate democratic management with the principles that characterize the NPM. Methodologically, through bibliographic and documentary research, studies around the NPM, normative acts that regulate democratic management in Brazil and data for monitoring the goals of the Plano de Educacao Nacional (national education plan) PNE (2014-2024) were articulated. The analysis highlighted the difficulties in making democratic management effective in the context of the NPM, and it proposes that changes in this new management model cannot be a hindrance to new achievements in education. However, when it comes to making democratic management effective in schools' reality, it is possible to say that there is a long way to go.
