Abstract

The article presents research results on the topic of educational management, specifically focusing on the privatization of educational management in the State Education System of Tocantins (SEE-TO). The objective is to analyze the phenomenon of privatization of educational management in SEE-TO, considering the increased influence of the insertion power of Private Hegemony Apparatuses (PHA) of the bourgeois ruling class in the formulation and implementation of educational policy/management during the validity period of the State Education Plan (PEE-TO/2015-2025). This phenomenon is analyzed from the perspective of neoliberal theses. Based on historical-dialectical materialism, the sources are bibliographical and empirical-documentary. The main results indicate that, up to the implementation of PEE-TO in 2024, the PHAs, such as Instituto Ayrton Senna, Fundação Lemann, Instituto Sonho Grande, Instituto Corresponsabilidade pela Educação, and Instituto Natura, intensified their influence through Cooperation Agreements with the State Department of Education, directing educational policy and management. These partnerships have reflected the privatization of educational management, sidelining the role of Seduc-TO and reinforcing bourgeois hegemony. On the other hand, there are collectives in Tocantins, such as the Rede ColaborAção Tocantins (RCT), Anpae, Anped, and the Group for Study, Research, and Extension in Municipal Education (GepeEM), that have been working towards building counter-hegemony in education. These groups advocate for public educational management with social quality, opposing the privatist and market-oriented trend. This work focuses on the political-institutional counter-hegemonic actions of the RCT.
