LEGALITY OF SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN BAHIA: DRAFT BILL

Considering that School Physical Education (EFE) is a mandatory curricular component of basic education, legally guaranteed in the Law of Guidelines and Bases of Education (Brasil, 2003), currently, despite the legal determination, it finds difficulties to be legitimized and taught by (a) licensed teacher a) in Physical Education in Early Childhood Education (EI) and in the Early Years of Elementary Education (AIEF). In this context, the main objective of this work was to present a draft of the Bill to the Municipal Councils of Education and/or members of the Legislative of the municipalities of Bahia, in order to ensure EFE in EI and AIEF, taught by a teacher licensed in the area. For that, a study was carried out with 7 municipal Education Managers who participated in the field research, semi-structured interview. The locus of the study were the 26 municipalities of the Território Litoral Sul da Bahia, but only 23 municipalities informed the number of teachers licensed in PE and the number of municipal EI and AIEF schools. The results point to a scenario marked by insecurities and uncertainties in relation to the offer of EFE classes at EI and AIEF, requiring a proposed regulation through a bill that mitigates such issues.
