Abstract

This study has the general objective of evaluating the public policies for the universa lization of pre-school education in two municipal schools in Fortaleza, analyzing the advancements and challenges in promoting the quality of early childhood education. The research seeks to identify and analyze the strategies implemented by the munici pality to guarantee access to pre-school for all children aged 4 to 5, as well as the challenges faced in ensuring the quality of the education offered. The methodology used combines documentary and bibliographical research, with the analysis of statis tical data and official documents, such as laws, decrees, and municipal education plans, related to this stage of basic education. Additionally, it involves the application of semi-structured interviews with school administrators and teachers from two public schools in Fortaleza's municipal network, seeking to understand their perceptions about the quality of the early childhood education offered in Fortaleza based on five nuances: democratic management, teacher training, pedagogical proposal, evaluation, infrastructure, and materials. It is expected that this study can contribute significantly to the debate on Early Childhood Education in Fortaleza, providing data and analyses that can guide the improvement of public policies, strengthen the fight for the univer salization of pre-school, and guarantee the quality of the education offered to children.
