ABSTRACT
This article aims to analyze the relationship between the public and the private, more specifically privatization in education, through the partnership of Seduc / AL. with the Lemann Foundation Course on Managerialism for Learning aimed at school administrators with a focus on Managerialism Based on Performance, reinforcing the managerial management model in schools and the implications for the democratization of education. We analyze the public-private relationship in education as part of a process of correlation of forces that occurs in society, not only as property, but as disputed corporate projects, both in the State and in civil society. The private is not an abstraction, our analyses point to networks of individual or collective subjects (THOMPSON, 1981THOMPSON, Edward. A miséria da teoria ou um planetário de erros. Rio de Janeiro: Zahar, 1981.) that relate and defend projects with class interests, linked to the market and/or to neo-conservatism. The research is qualitative, with documentary analysis of the material of the lessons of the Course on Managerialism for Learning, videos, and standardized spreadsheets. The data collected points to an emphasis on managerialism as part of the neoliberal assumption that the public is doing poorly and the market has to be the standard of quality. Managerialism has taken over the administration of public schools in Alagoas, with the imposition of standardized actions and pre-established routines, removing from these their administrative and pedagogical autonomy.
