Políticas públicas educacionais como instrumento de inclusão social: uma avaliação do programa mulheres mil em Fortaleza

Abstract

With the advent of the theory of human capital, promotion of educational policies began to be treated as a means to achieve economic development and promote social inclusion. However, in addition to increasing investment in education, it is necessary to assess the quality of implementation of this investment. In this context, the Management by Results (GPR) brings to the Public Administration to search for the optimization of resources. The general objective of this research was to evaluate the Programa Mulheres Mil de Fortaleza (PMMF), from the perspective of GPR in order to verify the criteria of efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness. Therefore, we sought to: a) examine how the activities of the program have influenced the inclusion of women in the class of 2011.1 b) identify the changes wrought c) detect actions for better applicability of the program to the next class. This research is a case study approach with qualitative and quantitative in nature, using the inductive method to arrive at a conclusion on efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness of this program. It is also considered an applied research, to seek the production of knowledge for problem solving and improvement actions. Participants were 35 students who entered the PMMF in half 2011.1. Data were analyzed quantitatively with the use of graphics and qualitative, from the analysis of the responses obtained through the open questions in the questionnaire applied. The analysis of the results indicated that after participating in PMMF more than half of the students returned to school. However, the inclusion of women in the labor market fell short of expectations, which points to the need for reflection on the work and attitudes to be taken, to enable the modification of the results presented here for the next class.
