THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEMOCRATIC MANAGEMENT AND POLITICAL-PEDAGOGICAL PROJECT IN BRAZILIAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Abstract

Democratic management is one of the fundamental pillars of public education in Brazil, and the political-pedagogical project (PPP) is the document responsible for defining the school's identity. This study aims to demonstrate the relevance of democratic management for the elaboration and implementation of the PPP in Brazilian public schools, highlighting its influence on daily school practice. To this end, the work performs a bibliographic review on the relationship between democratic management and the construction and application of the PPP, emphasizing the importance of a space of school autonomy. The analyses show that democratic management and the PPP complement each other, contributing to the effectiveness of a more participatory and inclusive school management.
