CAMINHOS E DESCAMINHOS DA IMPLEMENTAÇÃO E MANUTENÇÃO DE UMA ESCOLA EM TEMPO INTEGRAL: O CASO DO CENTRO PEDAGÓGICO DA UFMG

The present work seeks to bring introductory elements to the evaluation of the trajectory of thePedagogical Center (CP) at UFMG (Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil) as a full-time school. After justover ten years since the implementation of this regime, it is estimated that there have been significantadvances in the organization of school times and spaces, as well as in the preparation, organization andfulfillment of the curriculum; however, several challenges, especially due to its existential limbo, makemaintaining this regime a major challenge, such as providing the school with trained professionals tomanage daily life, obtaining resources for investments in infrastructure, among many other demands. Themethodology used was the experience report, due to the author's insertion in the debated context. Theresults obtained were the observation that, when considering only the IDEB (Basic Education DevelopmentIndex) as a criterion, it is not possible to perceive important advances in student learning due to theadoption of full-time, and the relatively recent precariousness of CP and other laboratory schools inBudgetary issues led to an interruption in the growth process that had been occurring until then. The workends by pointing out some elements for moving towards the end of full-time, unless there are significantinvestments in infrastructure and human capital to provide decent service to students, and to enableteaching work under adequate working conditions.
