School management; public-private partnership; basic education; entrepreneurial education.
This research project aims to primarily analyze the public-private partnership between the State Department of Education of the Federal District and the Brazilian Service for Support of Micro and Small Enterprises (Sebrae) through the National Entrepreneurial Education Program (PNEE) for the provision of pedagogical services for Middle School and High School from 2017 to 2022, based on the Technical Cooperation Agreements signed between the parties. Drawing upon dialectical historical materialism, the methodological tool used is the documentary and bibliographical analysis of documents elaborated by federal, district-level institutions and Sebrae. To achieve the primary objective, it examines how the historical construction of public-private partnerships unfolded, how it solidified as a widely used contractual format in contemporary federal and district-level basic education and the contradictions arising from this relationship. The project includes data collection through semi-structured interviews with SEEDF central, intermediate, and school-level staff, representatives from Sebrae and Sinpro-DF to comprehend the implementation of the public-private partnership in educational units.
