ABSTRACT:
This paper aims to analyze the implementation process of the National Policy of Special Education in the Perspective of Inclusive Education (known as PNEE-PEI) between 2008 and 2013 in the Teaching Municipal Network of the city of Jundiaí, state of São Paulo, Brazil. Two issues guided the development of this research: how the PNEE-PEI implementation process is articulated in the Municipal Network of Jundiaí and what the consequences of implementing this policy for Special Education in the municipality are. In order to achieve this proposal, this study used the quantitative and qualitative methods of research in an integrated way. The collected data were organized and submitted for analysis and interpretation through the technique of content analysis. The research reveals a representative participation of the third sector in the provision of Special Education in Jundiaí in the years prior to the publication of PNEE-PEI, showing a transfer of state responsibility in the provision and maintenance of this modality. This scenario of domination of the third sector began to change with the implementation of the PNEE-PEI which promoted the construction of a municipal policy of inclusive education, reflected in the expansion of the number of enrollments in the regular network of education.
