THE BILL OF THE NEW NATIONAL EDUCATION PLAN – PNE (2024-2034): IN PERSPECTIVE THE FINANCING AND THE RIGHT TO EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Abstract

This article aims to evaluate public policies for Early Childhood Education, especially in relation to the right to education and financing, outlined in Bill No. 2614/2024 of the National Education Plan (PNE) for the next decade (2024-2034). In addition, we are interested in the Early Childhood Education data in goal 1 and goal 20, which deals with the financing of the current PNE (2014-2024), which will serve as a starting point to understand what is outlined in Bill No. 2614/2024. Thus, the central problematization, guiding this study, is thus defined: what are the proposals that the new PNE (2024-2034), through PL No. 2614/2024, outlines for Early Childhood Education and financing, and which, therefore, will reverberate in the right to education?  To achieve the proposed objective, we carried out a bibliographic research and a documentary analysis. We undertook the analysis with the help of several authors and historical-dialectical materialism. The already consolidated results of the current PNE (2014-2024) demonstrate that goals 1 and 18 are still far from being achieved, which is consolidated as a great challenge. In addition, the analyses of the new PNE project (2024-2034) point out that the goals related to Early Childhood Education and financing sometimes show progress, and sometimes stagnation.
